Triethylamine → 4-Fluoro-2-[(1-oxopropyl)amino]benzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Propionyl chloride (1.7 ml) was added to a solution of 4-fluoroanthranilic acid (1 g) and triethylamine (2.8 ml) in 1,4-dioxane (30 ml). The mixture was heated under reflux for 4 hours, cooled and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was suspended in ethyl acetate and extracted with water. The organic phase was dried and evaporated and the residue purified by silica gel chromatography to give 4-fluoro-N-propionylanthranilic acid, mp 170°-171°. (Compound 9).
