Reaction Steps

4.89 g (18.50 mmol) of 2-hydroxy-5-octanoylbenzoic acid and 9 ml (70.30 mmol) of N,N-dimethylaniline are dissolved in 30 ml of toluene. The medium is cooled to 0° C., and 1.77 ml (18.50 mmol) of ethyl chloroformate are then added dropwise. After stirring for 2 hours at room temperature, the mixture is washed with aqueous 0.5N hydrochloric acid solution and then with water. The organic phase is dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. 5.59 g of 2-ethoxycarbonyloxy-5-octanoylbenzoic acid are obtained in the form of a white solid in a yield of 89%.
