After 1.5 hours, cool the reaction mixture and add a saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate. Extract three times with dichloromethane. Dry the combined organic layers over MgSO4, filter, and evaporate invacuo to give a residue. Chromatograph the residue on silica gel eluting sequentially with 40% ethyl acetate/dichloromethane and then 5% methanol/dichloromethane to give methyl 2-methoxy-5-(4H-triazol-4-yl)benzoate: mp; 179-182° C.

Procedure: A solution of 2-fluoro-5-nitroaniline (415 mg, 2.7 mmol) in pyridine (15 mL) was treated with N′-formylformohydrazide (703 mg, 7.98 mmol), and TMS-Cl (5.10 mL, 39.9 mmol) was then added dropwise. After the addition, Et3N (2.60 mL, 18.6 mmol) was added, and the reaction mixture was heated to 100° C. for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was then cooled to room temperature and concentrated to dryness. The resulting solid was suspended in H2O (25 mL) and filtered. The filtrate was extracted with EtOAc (4×20 mL), and the organics were dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated. The crude product was dissolved in a small amount of DCM and purified by flash chromatography (SiO2, hexanes to 100% EtOAc, 40 g column, 40 min. gradient) to afford Intermediate 28A (210 mg, 37.9%). HPLC: Rt=1.497 min. (YMC S5 ODS 4.6×50 mm, 10-90% aqueous methanol containing 0.2% H3PO4, 4 min. gradient, monitored at 220 nm).
