Reaction Steps

To a 250 mL round bottom flask, 2-amino-4-bromo-benzoic acid (10 g, 0.0463 mol) and urea (27.78 g, 0.4629 mol) were added. The reaction mixture was stirred at 195° C. for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to 80° C. and water was added. The aqueous reaction mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 5-10 minutes then allowed to reach room temperature. The solid was filtered, dried and azeotroped with toluene to afford the title compound (10 g, 90%). This material was taken to the next step without further purification.
