Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of (RS)-2-ethylundecanoyl chloride (1.16 g) and 3-amino-4-methylbenzoic acid (0.75 g) was placed in an oil bath at 90° C. and the temperature was gradually raised to 140° C. for 2 hours. After cooling, the solid was recrystallised from a mixture of ethanol (25 ml) and water (1 ml) to yield (RS)-3-(2-ethylundecanamido)-4-methylbenzoic acid (1.65 g) in the form of a white solid, m.p. 217°-220° C.
