Reaction Steps

Esters of p-dimethylaminobenzoic acid can be prepared by several methods. U.S. Pat. No. 2,202,865 describes the preparation of esters by reacting p-dimethylaminobenzoyl chloride with alcohols. Another method is by reacting an alkali salt of p-dimethylaminobenzoic acid with an alkene halide. Either method can be used but the latter is preferred. For example, if allyl chloride is added to sodium p-dimethylaminobenzoate in a suitable solvent such as dimethylformamide using a quaternary ammonium salt catalyst, allyl-p-dimethylaminobenzoate is obtained in yield of about 60%.
