HCID 22352523Methyl 3-bromo-4-chlorobenzoate

Procedure

3-Bromo-4-chlorobenzoic acid (200 mg, 0.849 mmol) was refluxed in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid (5.49 mg, 0.042 mmol) in methanol (10 mL) at 70° C. for overnight. The reaction was monitored by TLC. After completion of the reaction, the solvent was removed by vacuum, and the compound was purified by column chromatography affording the title compound (130 mg). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ 8.29 (d, 1H, J=2.0 Hz), 7.91 (dd, 1H, J=2.0 & 8.4 Hz), 7.52 (d, 1H, J=8.4 Hz), 3.92 (s, 3H). ESI-MS: 250.9 [M+H]+.
