Participants

Reaction Steps

10 gm (0.066 mol) of 5-methyl-anthranilic acid were dissolved in 65 ml of pyridine, and the solution was mixed, while cooling and stirring, with 15.7 gm (0.066 mol+20%) of 4-acetoxy-benzoyl chloride. After 2 hours the reaction was finished, and the reaction mixture was poured into ice water. The crystalline precipitate thus formed was suction-filtered off, washed well with water and dried.
