Reaction Steps

2,3-Difluoro-4-pentylbenzoic acid is obtained by reacting o-difluorobenzene with butyllithium in the presence of potassium tertiary-butoxide at -90° to -100° in tetrahydrofuran, alkylating the potassium compound formed using pentyl bromide/1,3-dimethyltetrahydro-2-(1H)-pyrimidinone (DMPU), isolating the 2,3-difluoropentylbenzene, re-metallation by means of butyllithium and subsequent reaction with solid carbon dioxide.
