Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydroxide (208 g, 5.21 mol) was added in portions to a stirred solution of 3-chloro-2,4-difluorobenzoic acid (200 g, 1.04 mol) in 1,3-dimethyl imidazolidin-2-one (1 L), and the mixture was heated to 140° C. for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and neutralized with ice-cooled 2N HCl (350 mL) precipitating a white solid that was collected by filtration. The filtered solid was dissolved in methyl t-butyl ether (500 mL), washed with saturated brine solution (150 mL) and dried over Na2SO4. Removal of solvent under vacuum afforded the title compound as off white solid. Yield: 180 g (91%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, MeOH-d4) δ: 6.8 (t, 1H), 7.90 (dd, 1H), 11.3 (s, 1H). MS (ES) MH−: 189 for C7H4ClFO3.
