Reaction Steps

44 g of 3-amino-2-hydroxy-N,N-dimethyl-benzamide are dissolved in 880 ml of EtOH. 46 g of 3,4-diethoxy-3-cyclobuten-1,2-dione and 4.4 g of K2CO3 are added and the reaction mixture obtained is stirred overnight at rt. Solvent is evaporated. A residue obtained is purified by column chromatography over 500 g of silica using CH2Cl2/MeOH 98/2 as eluent. The product-containing fractions are combined and solvent is evaporated. A residue obtained is suspended in 1 l of MeOH and filtered. This process is repeated a further 3 times. The title compound is obtained.
