Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 3-fluoro-2-methylsulphenylbenzoate (14.0 g) and 3-chloroperbenzoic acid (50-60%, 55.0 g) in dichloromethane was stirred at 25° C. for 1.5 hours. 1M Sodium metabisulphite was added and the organic phase washed with sodium bicarbonate and brine, dried over sodium sulphate, filtered and evaporated. The product was recrystallised from ethyl acetate to give 8.6 g of methyl 3-fluoro-2-methylsulphonylbenzoate as white crystals, m.p. 116.2° C.
