Used in the synthesis of a novel benzamide with potent neuroleptic activity. 5- fluoro-2-methyl-3,l-benzoxazin-4-one was obtained from 2-amino-6-fluorobenzoic acid. The condensation of 2-amino-6-fluorobenzoic acid methyl ester and (4-fluorophenyl) acetyl chloride with N,N-dimethylamino-4-pyridine in CH 2 Cl 2 to give 2-fluoro-6-[2-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-acetylamino]-benzoic acid methyl ester in 61% yield. 2 Amino 6 fluorobenzoic acid is another easily ac cessible synthon for construction of monofluorinated heterocycles. Reactions of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-n-D_glucopyranosyl bromide (2) with p-hydroxybenzaldehyde, trifluoromethyl and fluoro substi- tuted aniline and 2-amino-6-fluorobenzoic acid gave lO-(Pformyl- pheny1)-2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-(3-D-glucopyranoside. 2-Fluoro-6-iodobenzoic acid,a loose white crystal,was synthesized by using 2-amino-6-fluorobenzoic acid as the starting material.
