Abstract

An efficient and practical method for the preparation of 4-nitrogen-substituted benzoic acids is described. Our method consists of the aromatic substitution of 2, 2, 2, 4′- tetrafluoroacetophenone with amines, followed by haloform reaction to the benzoic acids. In this method, even though for the less nucleophilic 7-, 8-, and 9-membered amines 1 equiv. was used, corresponding benzoic acids were obtained in moderate to excellent yield. As ...
