Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

2-amino-3-methoxybenzoic acid (20.0 g, 119.64 mmol) is suspended in chloroform, cooled to 0° C. and combined with bromine (6.48 mL, 126.56 mmol), which is dissolved in 100 mL chloroform. After the addition the reaction mixture is heated to 20° C. and stirred for 16 h at this temperature. The precipitate is filtered off, dried and 2-amino-5-bromo-3-methoxybenzoic acid (HPLC-MS: tRet.=1.76 min, MS(M+H)+=246/248; method FECS) is obtained.
