Triethylamine → Methyl 4,5-dimethoxy-2-[(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl)amino]benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a mixture of 3.2 g of methyl 4,5-dimethoxyanthranilate in 30 ml of chloroform is dissolved 3 ml of triethylamine, and to this solution is added a solution of 3.45 g of 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoylchloride in chloroform under cooling. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. The reaction mixture is concentrated under a reduced pressure and to the residue is added water. The precipitated crystals are recrystallized from a mixture of dimethylformamide and ethanol to obtain 4.8 g of methyl N-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl)-4,5-dimethoxyanthranilate as pale yellow prisms.
