Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a 0° C. solution of 2-amino-4-methyl-benzoic acid methyl ester (1.5 g, 9.0 mmol) and triethylamine (1.4 g, 13.5 mmol) in methylene chloride (30.0 mL) is added butyryl chloride (1.2 g, 10.8 mmol) dropwise. The mixture is stirred at 0° C. for 30 min and is quenched with saturated sodium bicarbonate (10 mL). The organic phase is washed with brine (20 mL), dried (Na2SO4), filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to a residue. The residue is purified by flash chromatography to afford the title compound as syrup (2.2 g, 100%). LC-ES/MS m/e 236.3 (M+1).
