HCID 7020619Benzoic acid, 4-amino-3-hydroxy-, methyl ester

Procedure

Through a solution of 4-amino-3-hydroxybenzoic acid (75 g, 0.49 mol) in 2.0 L of dry methanol at room temperature was bubbled anhydrous HCl gas until the solution was saturated. The solution was stirred for 48 hours, then concentrated in vacuo. The product was partitioned between EtOAc and saturated aq. NaHCO3 solution, and the organic layer was washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), and concentrated in vacuo to provide the titled compound.
