Reaktionsschritte

A solution of 3-chloro-4,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (2) (3.16 g, 16.76 mmol) and chlorotrimethylsilane (6.36 mL, 50.3 mmol) in MeOH (50 mL) was stirred at 50° C., under nitrogen overnight. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was partitioned between brine (75 mL) and EtOAc (75 mL). The organic layer was washed with brine (75 mL), dried over MgSO4 and filtered. The solvent was removed in vacuo to give methyl 3-chloro-4,5-dihydroxybenzoate (3) (3.26 g, 13.68 mmol, 82% yield): m/z 201 [M−H]− (ES−); 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ: 10.17 (2H, br s), 7.38 (1H, d), 7.35 (1H, d), 3.78 (3H, s).
