Reaktionsschritte

Methylamine (13.5 mL, 40% in water) is added to an ice-cooled mixture of 2,4-difluoro-5-nitro-benzoic acid (10.0 g, 49 mmol) in water (100 mL) and it is stirred for 30 min at rt. The mixture is acidified with 6N aq. HCl-solution and the precipitate is filtered, washed with water and dried at 60° C. The crude material was recrystallized from MeOH. The final product was slightly contaminated by its regioisomer 4-fluoro-2-methylamino-5-nitro-benzoic acid.
