| Application | methyl 2, 4-difluorobenzoate is a pharmaceutical intermediate, 4-difluorobenzoic acid is obtained by first preparing 2, 4-difluorobenzoyl chloride and then esterifying it with methanol. It has been reported in the literature that it can be used for the preparation of venetora intermediates. |
| preparation | to 2, 4-difluorobenzoic acid (50.0g,316.25mmol) in methanol (500ml) the solution in was added sulfuryl chloride (112g,949.15mmol) at 0 °c. The resulting solution was heated to reflux overnight and concentrated under vacuum to provide methyl 2, 4-difluorobenzoate (50g,92%) as a colorless oil. |
