Procedure

To a solution of 2-amino-5-methylbenzoic acid (25.0 g, 170 mmol) in acetic acid (250 ml) was added bromine (10 ml, 195 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The mixture was filtered and the solid material was washed with water and cyclohexane and dried to give the title compound (33.4 g).
