Ethyl 5,6-difluoroanthranilate hydrochloride (2.50 g, 10.5 mmol) was suspended in 1N hydrogen chloride-acetic acid solution (50 mL), ethyl cyanoformate (1.14 g, 11.6 mmol) was added thereto, and the mixture was stirred under heating at 80° C. for 3 hr. The reaction mixture allowed to cool to room temperature, and concentrated under reduced pressure.
