Reaction Steps

A mixture of methyl 2,3-diamino-4-methoxybenzoate [0.5 g, Reference Example 8(a)] acetic acid (0.15 ml) and tetramethoxymethane (0.53 ml) was stirred at 80° C. for 40 minutes. After cooling to room temperature the reaction mixture was diluted with a mixture of methanol (3.6 ml), 1N sodium hydroxide (2.55 ml) and water (8 ml). The resulting precipitate was filtered and then passed through a short filtration silica gel column to give the title compound (0.49 g) as a tan coloured solid. M+236. NMR (CDCl3): δ 3.93(s, 3H), 4.05(s, 3H), 4.23(s, 3H), 6.69(d, J=8 Hz, 1H), 7.74(d, J=8 Hz, 1H), 9.48(bs, 1H)]
