Reaction Steps

Acetic formic anhydride (1.85 g) was added to a solution of 2-amino-6-methylbenzyl alcohol (2.74 g) in benzene (55 ml) at room temperature. After being stirred for 2 hours, the mixture was diluted with n-hexane (10 ml) and the precipitates were collected by filtration to give 2-formamido-6-methylbenzyl alcohol (2.8 g).
