Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

16.7 g (0.1 mol) of 3-amino-4-methoxybenzoic acid was added to 50 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide. Then 13.8 g (0.1 mol) of potassium carbonate was added to the solution obtained above, and the resulting mixture was stirred in the temperature range of from 20 to 30° C. for 30 min. 30.5 g (0.11 mol) of tetradecyl bromide was poured into the solution thus obtained, and the resulting solution was heated to 80° C., and allowed to react at the temperature for 1 hour. After completing the reaction, 50 ml of ethyl acetate, and 50 ml of water were added to the reaction mixture, and the organic layer obtained was separated, concentrated, diluted with 100 ml of methanol, and then cooled to precipitate crystals. The crystals were separated by filtration, and then dried to obtain 33.1 g (yield 91%) of the desired product. Purity 98% or higher. Melting point 54.0-56.0° C. A result of the elemental analysis of this sample was as follows:
