Methyl Salicylate → HCID 22904479, compound

Dimethylformamide (DMF)(100 ml), potassium carbonate (17.97 g) and 2,4-dichlorobenzyl chloride (21.50 g) were added to methyl salicylate (15.22 g), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. Ethyl acetate (1000 ml) was added to the reaction mixture, and the resulting mixture was washed with brine (700 ml) twice, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to give crude methyl 2-(2,4-dichlorobenzyloxy)benzoate. Methanol (100 ml), THF (100 ml), water (20 ml) and 85% potassium hydroxide (7.92 g) were added to the crude product thus obtained, and the mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 2 hours. After completion of the reaction, the mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. Water (300 ml) was added to the residue, and the pH of the mixture was adjusted to not more than 2, and the resulting crystals were separated by filtration, dried to give 2-(2,4-dichlorobenzyloxy)benzoic acid (29.30 g) as colorless crystals.
