Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 5-amino-2-chloro-4-fluorobenzoate (152 mg, 0.75 mmol) and pyridine (0.07 mL, 0.82 mmol) in 3 mL CH2Cl2 was added methanesulfonyl chloride (0.06 mL, 0.82 mmol). After 3 days at room temperature, the reaction mixture was washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 and filtered through a silica plug to provide methyl 2-chloro-4-fluoro-5-[(methylsulfonyl)amino]benzoate (96 mg, 44%) as a solid (ESI-MS 280 (M−H)), which was hydrolyzed using aqueous NaOH to provide 2-chloro-4-fluoro-5-[(methylsulfonyl)amino]benzoic acid (ESI-MS 266 (M−H)), which was used without further purification.
