Versuchsvorschrift
A process for preparing methyl N-butyryl-4-amino-3-methyl-benzoate, comprising a first step of reacting o-toluidine with butyryl chloride to give N-butyryl-2-methylaniline, a second step of brominating the N-butyryl-2-methylaniline to give N-(4-bromo-2-methylphenyl)butanamide and a third step of converting the N-(4-bromo-2-methylphenyl)butanamide by reaction with carbon monoxide and methanol in the presence of a palladium catalyst to give methyl N-butyryl-4-amino-3-methylbenzoate.
