Procedure

Anhydrous acetic acid (268 mL) was added dropwise to formic acid (401 mL) at room temperature, and the reaction solution was agitated for 40 minutes at room temperature. To this reaction solution, a THF (600 mL) solution of 4-amino-3-methoxybenzoic acid methyl ester (134 g) was added dropwise at room temperature, and the reaction solution was agitated for 1 hour. 3.8 L of iced water was added to the reaction solution, and the deposited solids were separated by filtering, and further washed with water (2 L). 111 g of the title compound was obtained by drying the obtained solid at 50° C. overnight. The physical properties was in agreement with the reported values (CAS#700834-18-0).
