Procedure

A solution of 4.0 g. (0.014 mole) of the sodium salt of 2-amino-3-benzoylphenylacetic acid in 100 ml. of dry dimethylformamide was treated with 8.0 g. (0.057 mole) of methyl iodide. After stirring for two hours the solution was poured into water and the aqueous solution extracted several times with ethyl ether. The combined extracts were washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum to a yellow oil. The oil was crystallized from a chilled methanol-water solution to give 3.5 gms. (90%) of a yellow solid which melted at 52°-54° C.
