Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Xylene (1.5 L) and salicylic acid (1 Kg.) was added to a 5 L 4-neck round bottom flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer and thermocouple. Thionyl chloride (1.29 kg) was added at 10° C. to 15° C. After addition of thionyl chloride reaction mass is stirred at 10° C. to 15° C. for 30 minutes. Reaction mass is heated at 35-40° C. for 1 hr. Salicylamide solution (0.891 kg in 2.0 lit of Xylene) was added in reaction mass at 25° C.-30° C. After addition reaction mass was gradually heated at 80° C.-126° C. and stirred for 2 hrs. After the completion of reaction excess of Xylene was distilled out. Methanol was added in the reaction mass at 70° C.-80° C. and stirred for 1 hr. gradually cooled the reaction mass at 25-30° C. Filtered the solid and washed with Methanol and sucked it dry. Dry the obtained solid at 55-60° C. under vacuum tray drier.
