Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Anthranilic acid (10 g, 72.9 mmol) and propionic anhydride (20.9 g, 160 mmol) were mixed and stirred at 130° C. for 2 hours. The reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure, the residue was dissolved in methylene chloride, the organic phase was washed with saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate aqueous solution and then distilled water and dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate. The target compound (12.5 g, 98%) was obtained as a colorless solid by filtering off the sodium sulfate and concentrating to dryness.
