Reaction Steps
A mixture of 5-ethyl-4-methylsalicylic acid (15.00 g), acetic anhydride (80 ml) and acetic acid (80 ml) was heated under reflux for 1.5 hours, poured into water (1 l) and allowed to stand overnight. The solid formed was filtered off and recrystallised from benzene to give 2-acetoxy-5-ethyl-4-methylbenzoic acid, m.p. 132°-134° C. (Found; C, 64.71; H, 6.46; C12H14O4 requires; C, 64.85; H, 6.35).
