Procedure

A solution of methyl 4-methoxysalicylate (50 g) in glacial acetic acid (700 ml) was treated dropwise with concentrated nitric acid (50 ml) over 15 minutes. After stirring for 2 hours, then standing at room temperature for 18 hours, the mixture was treated with a further aliquot of concentrated nitric acid (10 ml) then stirred for 6 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with ice then poured into water (1000 ml), then filtered. The solid was dried then subjected to flash chromatography on silica eluting with a mixture of toluene and dichloromethane (2:1, v/v) to give the title compound as a white solid, m.p. 185-187° C.
