4-Chlorobenzoyl chloride → HCID 43623645, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-amino-5-methyl benzoic acid (1.0 mmol) dissolved in 10% MeOH in toluene (2.5 mL) is added dropwise trimethylsilyl-diazomethane (2.0 M in hexanes, 0.75 mL). The reaction mixture is stirred at room temperature for 1 hour and the solvent is removed under reduced pressure. The resulting methyl ester is dissolved in dichloromethane (3.0 mL) and then 4-chlorobenzoyl chloride (1.0 equivalent) and DIEA (1.0 equivalent) is added sequentially. The reaction mixture is stirred for 3 hours and the solvent is evaporated. The yellow residue is diluted with EtOAc, washed with 1 M NaHSO4, brine, dried, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide 2-(4-chloro-benzoylamino)-5-methyl-benzoic acid methyl ester (compound 11.1) which is used without purification in the next step.
