Procedure

Into a round bottom flask, 2,5-difluoro-4-nitro-benzoic acid (5.00 g, 0.0246 mol) and methanol (20.0 mL, 0.494 mol;) was added. The reaction was heated at 45° C. for one hour. The solvent was removed under vacuum. 1N HCl was added to pH 4. The solid was filtered and washed with water to give 2-fluoro-5-methoxy-4-nitro-benzoic acid as an off white solid (2.84 g, 54%). 1H-NMR (DMSO-D6, 400 MHz): δ 13.90 (bs, 1H), 8.08 (d, 1H), 7.72 (d, 1H), 3.94 (s, 3H).
