Procedure

Carbonic acid 4-fluoro-2-methyl-phenyl ester methyl ester (12.8 g, 69.5 mmol) was suspended in 8 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid and cooled to 0° C. A mixture of concentrated nitric acid (8 ml) in concentrated sulfuric acid (8 ml) was added slowly, maintaining a reaction temperature below 50° C. After addition the mixture was stirred for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into ice-water, forming a precipitate which was filtered and dried to give carbonic acid 4-fluoro-2-methyl-5-nitro-phenyl ester methyl ester (8.0 g, 50.3%) as a white powder.
