Hydrochloric Acid → 4-((((Benzyloxy)carbonyl)amino)methyl)benzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Commercially available 4-aminomethylbenzoic acid (5 g) was dissolved in 1 mol/l aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (33 ml). Benzylchloroformate (5.2 ml) and 1 mol/l aqueous solution sodium hydroxide (40 ml) were gradually and simultaneously added while stirring at room temperature. After 3 hours, 1 mol/l hydrochloric acid was added to the reaction solution to adjust the pH to 3, and the deposited precipitate was collected by filtration through glass filter G4. The precipitate was washed with water and hexane, and dried under reduced pressure to obtain the title compound (8.162 g) as a white solid.
