Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzoic acid (20 g, 1.0 eq) and NaOH (20.5 g, 2.0 eq) in 100 mL H2O was reflux at 100° C. overnight. After cooling to rt, con. HCl was added to pH=7. The precipitate thus formed was isolated by filtration, washed with cold water, and dried, to give the desired product as a white solid (18.4 g, 98%).
