Procedure

To a solution of methyl 4-carbamoyl-2,6-dichlorobenzoate (100 mg, 0.4 mmol) in pyridine (2 mL) trifluoro-acetic anhydride (0.11 ml, 0.8 mmol) was added drop wise at 0° C. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 1 hour. The contents were poured into ice cold water and the precipitated solid was filtered, washed with water and dried to yield methyl 2,6-dichloro-4-cyanobenzoate (55 mg, 88%) as an off-white solid.
