Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of salicylic acid (1.38 g, 10.0 mmol) in methylene chloride (100 mL) cooled to 0° C. was added a few drops of dry N,N-dimethylformamide, followed by oxalyl chloride (1.41 mL). After 39 min, the ice bath was removed, and the reaction mixture allowed to warm to room temperature over 2 h. The solvent was removed in vacuo, and the residue dissolved in dry methylene chloride (125 mL). After cooling the solution to 0° C., triethylamine (2.81 mL, 20.0 mmol) was added, followed by the dropwise addition of a solution of p-anisoyl chloride (2.46 g, 20.0 mmol) in methylene chloride (25 mL). After 1 h, the reaction mixture was washed twice with 1 N aqueous hydrochloric acid and once with cold saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution. The organic layer was dried (magnesium sulfate), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Trituration with hexane, produced 1.95 g (80%) of the title compound as a crystalline solid.
