Procedure

To a flask containing acetic anhydride (60 mL) was slowly added 2-amino-5-fluorobenzoic acid (7.68 g, 0.05 mol) over 20 minutes and continued to stir over 2 hours at room temperature. The product was collected by filtration and allowed to dry to give 2-acetamido-5-fluorobenzoic acid (8.03 g, 82) as an off white solid.: m.p. 168°-170°; 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 2.11 (s, 3H), 7.46 (dt, 1H), 7.65 (dd, 1H), 8.41 (dd, 1H), 10.83 (s, 1H); 13C NMR (100 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 25.3, 117.1, 117.4, 119.3, 121.2, 121.4, 122.9, 137.6, 156.0, 158.4, 168.7, 168.9.
