Reaction Steps

5-Nitro-2-trifluoromethyl-benzoic acid is prepared from the known 2-methyl-4-nitro-1-trifluoromethyl-benzene by oxidation with chromium trioxide in an acetic acid/water/sulfuric acid mixture following a procedure described by Aeberli et al. [P. Aeberli, P. Eden, J. H. Gogerty, W. J. Houlihan, C. Penberthy, J. Med. Chem. 18, 177 (1975)]: colourless solid, MS (ISN): 233.9 M−H−.
