Reaction Steps

5-Chloroanthranilic acid (15.0 g), (CH3)2SO4 (11.6 g) and K2CO3 (12.7 g) were refluxed in acetone (150 g) for 30 minutes. The mixture was concentrated to about 90 g, and thereto was added water (90 g). The mixture was extracted with toluene (75 g), and the organic layer was concentrated to give methyl 5-chloroanthranilate (15.6 g, 96%).
