Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-acetoxy-2-chloro-5-methoxybenzoic acid (8.6 g, 35.2 mmol) and triethylamine (8.9 g, 88 mmol) in dry dichloromethane (100 ml) was cooled to 0° C. and ethylchloroformate (7.6 g, 70 mmol) was added at such a rate that the temperature stayed below 5° C. After 1 h cyclopropylamine (6.0 g, 105 mmol) was added. After stirring overnight at room temperature the organic phase was washed with water (2×200 ml). Drying over magnesium sulfate was followed by reduction of the solvent volume to half. Petrol ether was added and the product was filtered off. Yield 570 mg, 6.7%, mp 214-216° C.
