A solution of n-butyl lithium (4.4 ml of 2.5M solution in hexanes) in dry diisopropyl ether was treated at −78° C. under an inert atmosphere with 3-chloro4-trifluoromethoxy-bromobenzene (2.96 g) in diisopropyl ether. After 10 minutes, excess carbon dioxide (in the form of pellets) was added and the mixture left to slowly warm to ambient temperature. Ice-water was added and the organic layer run off. The aqueous layer was acidified with dilute hydrochloric acid, extracted (ether), dried (magnesium sulphate) and evaporated to dryness to give 3-chloro-4-trifluoromethoxybenzoic acid (1.51 g) as a white solid, m.p. 110.5-111.5° C.
