Procedure

(Step 1) To a solution of methyl 3-(aminocarbonyl)-5-chlorobenzoate (2.2 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (15 ml) was added thionyl chloride (2 ml) at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 1 hr. The reaction solution was quenched with ice and extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution and then with saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, and the obtained residue was treated by silica gel chromatography (ethyl acetate:hexane=1:1) to give methyl 3-chloro-5-cyanobenzoate (1.15 g) as a white solid.
