Procedure

A process for producing 2-chloro-4,5-difluorobenzoic acid which comprises reacting 3,4-difluoroaniline and hydroxylamine hydrochloride in an aqueous acidic solution with an aqueous solution of chloral hydrate and sodium sulfate at reflux, filtering while hot, giving N-(3,4-difluorophenyl)-2-(hydroxyimino)acetamide, which is reacted with concentrated sulfuric acid and heat, giving 5,6-difluoro-1H-indole-2,3-dione, which is dissolved in an aqueous base, treated with hydrogen peroxide and heat, then cooled and acidified, giving 2-amino-4,5-difluorobenzoic acid, which is reacted with anhydrous copper(II) chloride, t-butyl nitrite and anhydrous acetonitrile at 0°-5° C., then added to a dilute mineral acid, giving the desired compound.
