Reaction Steps

2 g of 5-methylsalicylaldehyde (14.7 mmol), 3.06 g of malonic acid (29.4 mmol), 1.3 g of pyridine and 0.08 g of aniline are dissolved in a minimum amount of ethanol. The mixture is heated at 40° C. on a water bath for 6 h. Next, it is diluted with water, acidified and then extracted with ether. The solvent is removed by distillation under reduced pressure. The residue obtained is recrystallized from ethanol.
