Reaction Steps

Sodium methoxide (25% wt., 7 ml) was added to a stirred solution of 3,5-dichlorobenzoic acid (2 g) in DMPU (10 ml) and heated at 170° C. for 5 days. The reaction was poured onto 1M HCl (50 ml). The resulting solid formed was filtered and washed with water, then dried in vacuo to give the subtitle compound (0.8 g).
