Procedure

Sodium hydride (1.05 g of 80% powder) was suspended in THF and to this was added a solution of 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (1.9 g) in THF, followed by a solution of 4-chloro-3-fluoro-2-methylsulphonylbenzoic acid (4 g) in THF. The resultant mixture was stirred for 2 hours and then acidified with 2 M HCl. The mixture was extracted with ether, washed with water, dried (anhydrous magnesium sulphate) and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated to dryness yielding 4-chloro-2-methylsulphonyl-3-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)benzoic acid (5.26 g) as a whim solid, NMR (DMSO d6) 2.5(s,3H), 4.8(q,2H), 7.5(d,1H), 8.0(d,1H).
