Procedure

A solution of 2-fluoro-4-hydroxybenzoic acid (50.0 g) and concentrated sulfuric acid (10 mL) in methanol (700 mL) was stirred with heating at 90° C. for 16 hr. The reaction solution was concentrated, and the resulting colorless crystals were washed with water, and dried to give the title compound (51 g, yield 94%) as colorless crystals.
