Dimethylformamide → 2-Amino-3-bromo-5-chlorobenzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 1.7 g of 2-amino-5-chlorobenzoic acid and 100 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide was added 1.8 g of N-bromosuccinimide at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 hours. Water was poured into the reaction mixture, and a deposited precipitate was collected by filtration to obtain 1.1 g of 2-amino-3-bromo-5-chlorobenzoic acid of the formula:
