HCID 2959522-Acetoxy-4-nitrobenzoic acid

Procedure

A solution of 2-hydroxy-4-nitrobenzoic acid (16.84 g) in acetic anhydride (60 mL) was heated under reflux overnight. After cooling, the reaction solution was concentrated in vacuo, water and tetrahydrofuran were added to the residue, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. The aqueous solution was extracted with ethyl acetate, the organic layer was washed successively with water and brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The resultant residue was suspended in diisopropyl ether, the resultant precipitates were collected by filtration and washed with diisopropyl ether to give the titled compound (13.75 g) as a colorless powder.
