Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-bromo-4-fluorophenol (28 g) in a solution of sodium hydroxide (7 g) in water (100 ml), methyl chloroformate was dropwise added thereto at a temperature below 10° C. The produced crystals were collected by filtration and washed with water to give methyl 2-bromo-4-fluorophenylformate (41 g). M.P., 80.7° C.
