Procedure

To 2-methyl-4-nitrobenzoic acid suspended in CH2Cl2 under Ar was added DMF then oxalyl chloride. The reaction was stirred at room temperature 1.5 hours then the solvent was evaporated. The residue was dissolved in THF and ammonia gas was bubbled through the reaction for 15 minutes. The solvent was evaporated and the residue partitioned between EtOAc and water. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc. The extracts were dried (MgSO4), filtered and evaporated. Column chromatography (SiO2, 0-100% EtOAc/Hex) gave pure 2-methyl-4-nitrobenzamide (E111).
