Reaction Steps

Alternatively, a mixture of 5-bromo-4-chloro-2-hydroxybenzoic acid (5 g, 19.9 mmol), 2-methoxy-N-methyaniline (3.13 g, 22.9 mmol) and P2O5 (5.36 g, 37.8 mmol) in anhydrous xylene was heated at 60° C. for 2 hrs and then refluxed for 17 hrs. The mixture was concentrated and purified via silica gel flash column chromatography eluted with ethyl acetate in hexane (20%) to give 5-bromo-4-chloro-2-hydroxy-N-(2-methoxy-phenyl)-N-methyl-benzamide (3.3 g).
