Reaktionsschritte

Treat a solution of 5-amino-2-methoxy-benzoic acid methyl ester (7.70 g, 42.5 mmol) and dichloromethane (50 mL) portionwise with a solution of di-2-pyridyl thionocarbonate (10.0 g, 43.1 mmol; Aldrich Chemical Company) and dichloromethane (70 mL) at room temperature under an argon atmosphere. After 3.5 hours, concentrate in vacuo and purify the residue by flash chromatography (silica gel, 5.5×17.8 cm) eluting with dichloromethane. Combine the appropriate fractions and concentrate to afford 5-isothiocyanato-2-methoxy-benzoic acid methyl ester (6.9 g).
