Reaktionsschritte

4-methoxy-3-[(N-chloro-benzimidoyl)-amino]-benzoic acid methyl ester (8 g, 25.10 mmol) obtained in step 1 was dissolved in 50 ml of 50% methanol and NaHCO3 (5.32 g, 50.20 mmol) was added dropwise thereto at room temperature and refluxed for 5 min. The resulting solution was cooled to room temperature, extracted with ethyl acetate, and the extract was concentrated under a reduced pressure. The resulting residue was purified by recrystallization from ethyl acetate/hexane to obtain the title compound (6 g, 15.94 mmol) in a yield of 86%.
