60 °C

To a stirred solution of 5-chloro-2-methyl-3-nitrobenzoic acid (1 equiv.) in DMF (3 ml per 1 mmol), iodomethane (4 equiv.) and sodium carbonate (4 equiv.) were added. The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 8 h. On completion, the reaction mixture was filtered and the inorganic solid residue washed with ethyl acetate. The combined filtrate was concentrated under vacuum till dryness. The residue was re-dissolved in ethyl acetate and washed with 5% sodium bicarbonate solution followed by 5M HCl solution. Organic layer was finally washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to afford pure methyl 5-chloro-2-methyl-3-nitrobenzoate (90-95%).
