Procedure

A solution of chlorotrimethylsilane (200 mL) in methanol (300 mL) was treated with 2-chloro-5-fluoro-4-methyl-3-nitrobenzoic acid (Example 252c, 65.5 g) portionwise under nitrogen. The resulting solution was stirred at 20° C. for 16 h. Further chlorotrimethylsilane (100 mL) was added and the reaction heated at 50° C. for 6 h. The reaction mixture was evaporated to afford crude product which was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate (300 mL). The organic extract was dried (MgSO4), filtered and evaporated to afford the subtitle compound (53.4 g).
