Reaction Steps

2 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid was added to a methanol (200 ml) solution of 10 g of 5-fluoro-2-nitrobenzoic acid, and heated under reflux for 22 hours. 200 ml of aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution was added to it, and the formed solid was taken out through filtration. This was dried under reduced pressure to obtain 10.7 g of the entitled compound as a yellow solid.
