Reaction Steps

20 g of 2-chloro-5-fluoro-4-methylbenzoic acid are initially introduced into 60 ml of concentrated H2SO4. 12.3 g of KNO3 are added in portions, while cooling with ice. The mixture is then warmed to 50° for 2 hours and subsequently poured onto ice. After isolation and recrystallization from toluene, 18.8 g of 2-chloro-5-fluoro-4-methyl-3-nitrobenzoic acid of melting point 186°-88° are obtained.
