Reaktionsschritte

To a solution of 4-amino benzoic acid (20.0 g, 0.14 mol) in methanol (400 mL) was added conc. sulphuric acid (40 mL). The reaction mass was stirred at RT for 6-7 h. The reaction mass was quenched with water and basified with NaHCO3 and extracted with DCM. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate and concentrated to afford 15.0 g of the desired product. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO d6): δ 3.72 (s, 3H), 5.96 (br s, 2H), 6.55 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 2H), 7.64 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 2H) MS (m/z): 152.21 (M+H)+.
