Participants

Reaction Steps

To a chilled (0-5° C.) solution of 30.0 g (0.180 mol) of 2-amino-3-methoxybenzoic acid (Aldrich Chemicals) in 500 mL of tetrahydrofuran was added 17.8 g (0.0600 mol) of triphosgene. A precipitate formed upon addition. The ice bath was removed after 15 minutes, and the reaction mixture was stirred for 1 hour at room temperature. The reaction mixture was poured into 1000 mL of water and stirred for thirty minutes. The product (mp 267-268° C.) was filtered and amounted to 32.9 g.
