HCID 68236Acetanthranil

Procedure

A solution of 2-aminobenzoic acid (300mg, 1.46 mmol) in acetic anhydride (2 mL) was heated to 130° C. for 16 hours. The mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel eluting with 20% ethyl acetate in hexanes to provide the title compound. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ ppm 2.44-2.52 (m, 3H), 7.44-7.60 (m, 2H), 7.76-7.87 (m, 1H), 8.20 (dd, J=7.97, 1.53 Hz, 1H); MS (DCI/NH3) m/z 162 (M+H)+.
