Participants

Reaction Steps

Methyl 2-amino-4-bromobenzoate (1 g) was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (15 mL), triethylamine (4.2 mL) and methanesulfonyl chloride (0.74 mL) were added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 6 hr. Water was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with chloroform. After evaporation of the solvent, to the residue were added methanol (20 mL) and 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (13 mL), and the mixture was stirred at 50-60° C. After neutralizing with 1N hydrochloric acid, the precipitated solid was collected by filtration to give the title compound (964 mg).
