Procedure: 5-Chloro-2-hydroxybenzonitrile (39.25 g, 0.25 mol) and acetic anhydride (40 ml) were combined, to which 0.5 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 10 minutes, followed by the addition of water. Subsequent to extraction with ethyl acetate, the organic layer was washed with 1 N aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide and a saturated aquous solution of sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and then concentrated under reduced pressure, whereby 45 g of 2-acetoxy-5-chlorobenzonitrile were obtained as a brown solid (yield: 92%). It was provided for immediate use in the next step. was added Subsequent to extraction with ethyl acetate the organic layer was washed with 1 N aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide a saturated aquous solution of sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate concentrated under reduced pressure

Procedure: 4-Chloro-2-iodophenol (85 g, 0.33 mol) was dissolved in 150 ml of DMF, followed by the addition of 32.5 g (0.36 mol) of copper cyanide. The resulting mixture was refluxed for 2 hours and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate, and the thus-prepared solution was washed with water. Subsequent to elimination of an undissolved salt, the solution was concentrated under reduced pressure, whereby 40.4 g of 5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzonitrile were obtained (yield: 80%). Without purification, it was provided for use in the next step. The resulting mixture was refluxed for 2 hours concentrated under reduced pressure The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate the thus-prepared solution was washed with water Subsequent to elimination of an undissolved salt, the solution was concentrated under reduced pressure

Procedure: Further, 39.25 g (0.25 mol) of the 5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzonitrile were dissolved in 40 ml of acetic anhydride, followed by the addition of 0.5 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid. After the reaction mixture was heated at 60° C. for 10 minutes, water was added to the reaction mixture, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with 1N NaOH and a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride and was then dried over Na2SO4. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure, whereby 45 g of 2-acetoxy-5-chlorobenzonitrile (yield: 92%). A mixture of 44 g of the 2-acetoxy-5-chlorobenzonitrile and 99 g (0.75 mol) of aluminum chloride was then heated at 160° C. for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool down to room temperature, and was then poured into ice water which contained 100 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid. The slurry was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×350 ml). The extract was washed with 1N hydrochloric acid (3×200 ml) and a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride (400 ml) and was then dried over Na2SO4. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue was washed with dichloromethane to remove byproducts, and was then collected by filtration, whereby 16.5 g of the title compound were obtained as brown powder (yield: 38%). followed by extraction with ethyl acetate The organic layer was washed with 1N NaOH a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride and was then dried over Na2SO4
