Reaction Steps

13.94 ml TEA (100 mmol) were added to a solution of 13.81 g salicylic acid (SA; 100 mmol) in 40 ml DMF at 60° C., the reaction mixture was stirred for 20 minutes at 60° C., and 12.2 g 1,3-dibromo propane (Compound 18d; 50 mmol) were added. The reaction mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 24 hours, cooled to room temperature, poured into 250 ml cold water, and acidified to about pH 4 with 1N HCl. A white precipitate separated. The precipitate was filtered, washed with water, and dried in a vacuum oven at 40° C. overnight. The thus obtained crude product was recrystallized from n-heptane to obtain a pure product.
