Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 2-(difluoromethyl)benzoate 52 (7 g, 38 mmol) and 10% aq. NaOH (100 mL) in MeOH (50 mL) was heated at reflux for 30 min. The pH was adjusted to 4 by the addition of 3N HCl. The resulting solid was collected by filtration, rinsed with H2O and dried to give 53 (6 g, 93% yield).
