P-Cresol → HCID 58042518, compound

Temperature

60 °C

5-Chloro-2,4-difluorobenzoic acid (1.17 g, 6.08 mmol) was dissolved in thionyl chloride (5.0 mL) and heated at 60° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere for 5 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and azeotroped with DCM (2×10 mL) and toluene (10 mL). Then the crude was dissolved in DCM (15 mL) and cooled to 0° C. 4-Methylphenol (0.665 g, 6.15 mmol) and triethylamine (1.05 mL, 7.53 mmol) in DCM (10 mL) were added dropwise and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature under a nitrogen atmosphere for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue dissolved in EtOAc (10 mL), then washed with saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate (2×10 mL). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to yield the crude solid. The solid was triturated in the minimum amount of heptanes to afford the title compound as a white solid (1.20 g, 69%):
