Abstract
Disclosed is a process for isolating and purifying 2,4,5-trifluorobenzoic acid from a solution in a decarboxylating solvent such as NMP. The solution is neutralized with a hydroxide. This results in the formation of a salt of the 2,4,5-trifluorobenzoic acid, which precipitates. The slurry is filtered to collect the precipitated salt and the precipitated salt is dissolved in water. The aqueous solution of the salt is then acidified which results in the reformation and precipitation of the 2,4,5-trifluorobenzoic acid.
