Procedure

To a solution of 4-fluoro-2-hydroxybenzoic acid compound 3 (20.0 g, 128.11 mmol) in ethanol (100 mL) was added conc. sulfuric acid (10 mL). The resulting mixture was heated in a 120° C. oil bath O/N. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give crude product, which was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, 10% EtOAc in hexane) to afford the title compound 4 (19.9 g, 85%) as a colorless solid. 1H NMR 400 MHz (CDCl3) δ: 11.15 (s, 1H), 7.83 (d, J=6.6 Hz, 1H), 7.81 (d, J=6.6 Hz, 1H), 6.62 (dd, J=10.1, 2.3 Hz, 1H), 6.61 (dd, J=7.0, 2.0 Hz, 1H), 4.41 (q, J=7.0 Hz, 2H), 1.42 (t, J=7.0 Hz, 3H); MS (ES) m/z: 185 (M+1)+.
