Reaction Steps

6.0 g (30.0 mmol) of 3,5-difluoro-2-nitro-benzoic acid was dissolved in DMF, treated with 8.5 g (60.0 mmol) of MeI and 9.5 g (90.0 mmol) of Na2CO3, and heated at 80° C. for 2 h. Water was added to the reaction mixture, and extraction with EtOAc produced 3,5-difluoro-2-nitro-benzoic acid methyl ester. LCMS: 218 (M+1)+.
