Acetic Acid → HCID 13066647, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 150 ml methanol was dissolved 5.3 g of methyl 2,5-bis(2'-acetoxybenzamido)-benzoate obtained in Example 3. To the solution was added 2.5 g of sodium carbonate dissolved in 40 ml of water and then the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. The mixture was poured into 500 ml of water containing 10 ml of acetic acid to precipitate crystals. The crystals were recovered by filtration, washed with water, dried and recrystallized from ethyl acetate to yield 3.8 g of methyl 2,5-bis(salicylamido)-benzoate having a melting point between 243° - 244°C.
