Abstract

Abstract Lewis acid catalyzed Fries rearrangement of 2-fluorophenyl acetate (3) was performed on kg scale. The ortho5 and para4 isomers obtained were separated in an industrially feasible way. Compound 4 was then converted into fluorinated building block 3- fluoro-4-methoxybenzoyl chloride (1) while compound 5 was converted into 1, 2-diethoxy-3- fluorobenzene (2) in high yields.
