Procedure

A stirred solution of 2-amino-4-fluorobenzoic acid (4.86 g, 31.3 mM) in anhydrous methanol (100 mL) was saturated with anhydrous hydrogen chloride and then refluxed for 4 days. During the reflux period, the reaction mixture was periodically resaturated with hydrogen chloride. After the reflux period, the reaction mixture was cooled and concentrated to leave a whtie solid. This material was dissolved in water and the resulting solution neutralized with aqueous sodium bicarbonate and extracted with diethyl ether. The combined extracts were dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated to leave (4.08 g, 80.6%) of the title compound as an off white solid, mp 66°-67° C.; MS(CI): 170 (M+H).
