Procedure

A 2 M solution of TMS diazomethane in hexanes (6.88 mL, 13.75 mmol) is added to a suspension of 4-amino-2,3-difluoro-5-nitro-benzoic acid 3 (2.00 g, 9.17 mmol) in 25 mL of 4:1 THF:MeOH at 0° C. under nitrogen atmosphere. Upon completion of addition, reaction mixture is warmed to room temperature. After 0.5 hours, excess TMS diazomethane is destroyed by the careful addition of acetic acid. The reaction is then concentrated under reduced pressure and dried in vacuo to give 1.95 g (92%) of pure desired product: MS APCI (−) m/z 231 (M−1) detected.
