Procedure

3-Fluorobenzoic acid (1 g, 7.13 mmol) was dissolved in concentrated H2SO4 (2 ml) by warming slightly above room temperature. The solution was cooled to 0° C. Fuming nitric acid (539 mg, 8.56 mmol) was added slowly to the solution while keeping the temperature below 0° C. The solution was stirred at 0° C. for 3 h. The solution was poured into ice water, the solid formed were filtered, washed by cold water, and dried to yield 1.2 g (92%) of white solids. M.P. 122° C. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6): 7.60 (dt, J=2.9, 8.5 Hz, 1H), 7.71 (dd, J=2.9, 8.6 Hz, 1H), 8.13 (dd, J=4.8, 8.8 Hz, 1H). EIMS m/z 186 (M+I).
