Procedure

To a solution of 3-chloro-5-nitro-benzoic acid methyl ester (325, 2.75 g, 12.76 mmol) in 60 mL of MeOH was added a solution of NaOH (EM, 5.10 g, 127.6 mmol) in 35 mL of H2O. The mixture was stirred for 2 h. MeOH was removed under reduced pressure, and the mixture was diluted with water, brought to pH 2 with con. HCl. Filtration followed by washing with water gave 2.35 g (92%) desired product.
