Water → 2,5-Difluoro-4-(pyrrol-1-yl)benzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

5.2 grams (0.03 mol) of 2,5-difluoro-4-aminobenzoic acid, melting at 250°-3°, are dissolved in 60 ml of glacial acetic acid, and 4 grams (0.03 mol) of dimethoxytetrahydrofuran are added. The mixture is heated at the boil for 10 minutes, 20 ml of water are added and the resulting mixture is left to cool. The precipitate formed is filtered off and washed with water to give 5.3 grams of a solid melting at 196°-8° C.
