Procedure

Methyl iodide (463 g) was dropped to a mixture of 3-hydroxy-4-nitrobenzoic acid (199 g) and potassium carbonate (450 g) in DMF (1 L) at room temperature. After agitating the reaction solution at room temperature overnight, methyl iodide (230 g) was further added to the reaction mixture, and the reaction mixture was further agitated at room temperature for 6 hours. The reaction mixture was added to ice water and the deposited solids were obtained by filtration. 178 g of the title compound was obtained by drying the obtained solid at 50° C. overnight. The physical properties was in agreement with the reported values (CAS#5081-37-8).
