Dimethylformamide → 2-Amino-5-chloro-3-methoxybenzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 1.67 g of 2-amino-3-methoxybenzoic acid and 100 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide was added 1.3 g of N-chlorosuccinimide at room temperature, and the resulting 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 1.2 g of 2-amino-5-chloro-3-methoxybenzoic acid.
