Reaktionsschritte

A solution of 2-aminobenzoic acid (25 g) in ethanol (300 ml) reacted with an excess of paraformaldehyde and then reduced with hydrogen gas at 60 psi over platinum oxide (25 g) catalyst. After hydrogen uptake ceased, the mixture was filtered and the solvent removed on a rotary evaporator. The product was purified by chromatography on silica gel and the structure confirmed by nmr and infrared analysis.
