Procedure

16 g (66.9 mmol) of 3-hydroxy-2,4,6-trichlorobenzamide is suspended in 100 ml of methanol and dissolved by adding 1.54 g (66.9 mmol) of sodium. After the addition of 16.8 g (66.9 mmol) of bromoacetic acid ethyl ester, the mixture is maintained under reflux until the reaction is complete (TLC control). The product is then concentrated to dryness under vacuum and the resultant 3-carbamoyl-2,4,6-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid methyl ester is suspended in 100 ml of water. The mixture is combined with 20 ml of concentrated sodium hydroxide solution and maintained for 3 hours at 60° C. for saponifying. The solution is filtered over active carbon, brought to pH 2 by adding concentrated hydrochloric acid, and the precipitate is vacuum-filtered after several hours of stirring in an ice bath. After washing with water and drying, 16.8 g (84% of theory) of 3-carbamoyl-2,4,6-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid is obtained as a white powder, mp 261°-262° C.
