Methyl Anthranilate → HCID 15922435, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred mixture of anthranilic acid methyl ester (5.0 g) and 4-fluorobenzaldehyde (3.55 ml) in 1,2-dichloroethane (50 ml) was added sodium triacetoxy-borohydride (10.5 g). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 hours. Saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate was added. Layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with 1,2-dichloroethane. The combined organic layers were washed with water and brine, dried (Na2SO4) and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to column chromatography on silica gel (elution with EtOAc/petroleum ether 1/9) and gave 2-(4-fluoro-benzylamino)-benzoic acid methyl ester (6.22 g). The obtained ester was converted into the title compound using general procedure 2. 13C-NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 169.9, 161.1, 150.4, 135.5, 134.3, 131.6, 128.9, 115.2, 114.5, 111.6, 110.4, 45.0.
