1-Butanol → Butyl anthranilate

Participants

Reaction Steps

8.6 parts of 50 percent strength by weight sodium hydride are added to 14.7 parts of isatin in 250 parts of n-butanol and 100 parts of dimethylformamide at 25° C. After one hour, 8 parts of 50 percent strength by weight hydrogen peroxide solution are slowly added to the violet solution, and the temperature is allowed to rise to 50° C. The mixture is then stirred for one hour and is worked up as described in Example 1. 10.8 parts (56% of theory) of n-butyl anthranilate are obtained.
