Reaction Steps

To tert-butyl 6-(2-fluorophenyl)nicotinate (479 mg, 1.75 mmol) in DCM (12 mL) at 0° C. was added TFA (2.5 mL). After stirring at rt overnight, toluene was added (10 mL) and the solvent removed to give a white solid (375 mg, 98%), 6-(2-fluorophenyl)nicotinic acid. LC/MS (M+H)=218.0 observed, 218.06 expected.
