Procedure

To 2-fluoro-5-methoxybenzoic acid (5.00 g, 29.4 mmol) was added 49% aqueous HBr (50 mL) and glacial acetic acid (40 mL). The mixture was heated overnight at 140° C., cooled to RT, diluted with ice water and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to yield 2-fluoro-5-hydroxybenzoic acid. MS m/z=157 [M+1]+. Calc'd for C7H5FO3: 156.11.
