Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2,3,4-trifluorobenzoic acid (1 g, 5.68 mmol) and 4-bromo-2-chloroaniline (1.2 g, 5.68 mmol) in acetonitrile (10 mL) was added lithium amide (0.39 g, 17.04 mmol) and the reaction stirred at 60° C. for 1.5 hours. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and then to 0° C. and acidified with aq. hydrochloric acid. The obtained precipitate was collected by filtration and washed with cold water and dried in vacuo to afford 2[(4-bromo-2-chlorophenyl)amino]-3,4-difluorobenzoic acid (1.92 g, 94% yield) as a beige solid. MS (EI) for C13H7BrClF2NO2: 363 (MH+).
