Chloroacetyl chloride → HCID 59153381, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

At RT chloro-acetyl chloride (8.06 mmol) is added dropwise to a solution of 2-amino-3-hydroxy-benzoic acid methyl ester (7.33 mmol) in DMF (50 mL). After 20 min K2CO3 (34.9 mmol) is added portionwise, the mixture is stirred for 16 h at RT and the solvents are removed in vacuo. Water and DCM are added, the layers are separated and the organic layer is washed with brine and dried over Na2SO4. The solvents are removed in vacuo to give a crude product which is purified by CC (heptane to heptane/EtOAc 6/4). LC-MS: tR=0.82 min; [M+CH3CN+H]+=249.0.
