摘要 |
The invention provides a process for production of 2,3,4-trifluoro-5-(iodo or bromo)benzoic acid, the process comprising a halogenation step in which direct iodination or bromination of 2,3,4-trifluorobenzoic acid is performed with an iodinating agent or brominating agent in a reaction solvent in the presence of an oxidizing agent. According to the invention, there is provided a process for convenient production of 2,3,4-trifluoro-5-(iodo or bromo)benzoic acid in high yield and high purity in a highly regioselective manner.
