Procedure

Oxalyl chloride (9.0 mL, 106.6 mmol) and DMF (0.5 mL) were added into a suspension of 4-cyano-2-fluorobenzoic acid (ABCR, 16 g, 96.9 mmol) in anhydrous DCM (300 mL) The resulting mixture was stirred at RT, and then evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was taken up with anhydrous THF (150 mL) and added dropwise into a solution of methanol (50 mL) and triethylamine (25.8 mL, 193.8 mmol) at 4° C. The reaction mixture was diluted with a 0.1N aqueous solution of HCl (200 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (3×100 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with a semi-saturated aqueous solution of NaHCO3 (200 mL) and water (200 mL), dried (MgSO4) and concentrated under vacuum to give the title compound as a pale yellow solid (17.8 g, quantitative). HPLC (Method A) Rt 2.81 min (Purity: 93.9%).
