Reaction Steps

A mixture composed of 4-aminobenzoic acid (10 g), 1N aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (365 cc) and ethyl chloroformate (7 cc) is left stirring for 30 minutes at 5° C. 2.5N hydrochloric acid (150 cc) is then added to the reaction mixture. The precipitate formed is separated by filtration, washed with water (3×200 cc) and dried at 40° C. under reduced pressure (0.07 kPa). 4-(Ethoxycarbonylamino)benzoic acid (13.8 g), m.p. 207° C., is obtained.
