Diethyl Ether → HCID 21976145, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

N-(Mesityl)-oxanilic acid ethyl ester (1.99 g, 8.5 mmol) was dissolved in THF (50 ml), forming a solution. To this solution was added 1M NaOH solution (40 ml), and the mixture was then stirred for 2 hours. Diethyl ether (25 ml) was then added, and the layers were separated. The organic layer was washed with 1 M NaOH solution (40 ml). The aqueous layer was then acidified with 2M HCl until precipitation occurred. The precipitate was then extracted with ethyl acetate (2×50 ml). The ethyl acetate was washed with brine (50 ml), and then dried over MgSO4. Removal of the solvent under reduced pressure provided the product as a white solid (1.74 g, 8.4 mmol, 99% yield). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.51 (s, 1H), 6.93 (s, 2H), 2.29 (s, 3H), 2.19 (s, 6H); 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3) δ 160.0, 156.1, 138.6, 134.7, 129.5, 128.9, 21.2, 18.5. Anal. Calcd for C11H13NO3: C, 63.76; H, 6.32; N, 6.76. Found: C, 63.59; H, 6.32; N, 6.79.
