Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of 25 g. of 2-chloro-5-nitro-benzoic acid in 125 ml. of n-pentyl alcohol add 4.8 g. of sodium hydroxide pellets, 25 g. of 2-methyl-3-trifluoromethylaniline and 2 g. of copper powder. With constant stirring, reflux the reaction mixture for 18 hours. Concentrate the mixture to one half volume and dilute with water and ether. Acidify the aqueous layer to obtain a crude product which is recrystallized to yield 5-nitro-N-(2-methyl-3-trifluoromethylphenyl) anthranilic acid, m.p. 244°-245° C.
