3-(cyclopropylmethoxy)-4-(difluoromethoxy)benzoic Acid is synthesised using 3-cyclopropylmethoxy-4-difluoromethoxybenzaldehyde as raw material by chemical reaction. The specific synthesis steps are as follows:
3-cyclopropylmethoxy-4-difluoromethoxybenzaldehyde (12 g, 50 mmol) and sulfamic acid (7.3 g, 75 mmol) were dissolved in glacial acetic acid (50 ml) and the solution added with a solution of sodium chlorite (8.2 g, 75 mmol) in water (15 ml).
The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr then water (300 ml) was added so obtaining the precipitation of a solid that was filtered and dried at 40° C. under vacuum (12 g, 48 mmol, 97percent yield).
