Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 23123812, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To an aqueous solution (200 ml) of 8.22 g of m-aminobenzoic acid and 4.8 g of sodium hydroxide was dropwise added 25.0 g of 2,2,2-trichloroethyl chloroformate at room temperature. During the dropwise addition, the reaction solution was controlled to pH 10 or more by appropriately adding a 1N sodium hydroxide aqueous solution. After the reaction, the solution was controlled to pH 1 by adding 1N hydrochloric acid, and the precipitates were collected by filtration. The resultant crude crystals were dried and then washed with a ethyl acetate/n-hexane mixed solvent to obtain 16.2 g (yield 87%) of the title compound as a solid.
