[OH:1][C:2]1[CH:10]=[CH:9][C:5]([C:6]([OH:8])=[O:7])=[CH:4][C:3]=1[Cl:11].[C:12](OC(=O)C)(=[O:14])[CH3:13]>>[C:12]([O:1][C:2]1[CH:10]=[CH:9][C:5]([C:6]([OH:8])=[O:7])=[CH:4][C:3]=1[Cl:11])(=[O:14])[CH3:13]A mixture of 10 g. 4-hydroxy-3-chlorobenzoic acid and 50 ml. of acetic anhydride is refluxed for two hours. Excess acetic anhydride is distilled under vacuum and the residue diluted and stirred with a mixture of methanol (100 ml.) and water (20 ml.) at about 50° for 30 minutes. The mixture is then reduced to low volume under vacuum, water added and the precipitated crystals filtered. Recrystallization from toluene gives 6.5 g. (52% yield) m.p. 162°-163° C.
