Conditions

Temperature
80 °C

Procedure

Under ice-cooling, thionyl chloride (8.02 mL) was added dropwise to ethanol (200 mL), and 2-fluoro-5-nitrobenzoic acid (13.81 g) was added. This mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 4 hrs. and concentrated under reduced pressure. A saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution was added to the reaction mixture and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract washed with saturated brine and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (15.77 g) as a pale-yellow oil.
