Abstract
5-Chloro-2, 3, 4-trifluorobenzoic acid, a key intermediate for preparing quinolone-3-carboxylic acid derivatives, was synthesised from the commercially available 2, 3, 4, 5-trifluorobenzoic acid in excellent yield by a reaction sequence involving nitration, selective reduction, diazotisation and chlorination.
