Ammonia → 2-Amino-3-methoxybenzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 2-amino-3-methoxybenzoic acid (8.11 g, 48.52 mmol) in DMF (150 mL) at rt were added DIEA (13.2 mL, 58.22 mmol), 2 N ammonia in MeOH (33.96 mL, 67.92 mmol), EDCI (11.16 g, 58.22 mmol), and 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (7.87 g, 58.22 mmol). The solution was stirred at rt under argon. After 20 h the solution was diluted with water and extracted ten times with EtOAc. The EtOAc volume was reduced and washed with brine. The EtOAc fraction was concentrated and diluted with diethyl ether. The resulting tan solid was collected and dried in vacuo to give 2-amino-3-methoxybenzamide (6.08 g, 76%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 3.79 (s, 3H), 6.26 (bs, 2H), 6.48 (m, 1H), 6.88 (d, J=7.9 hz, 1H), 7.12 (bs, 1H), 7.19 (dd, J=8.2, 1.0 Hz, 1H), 7.70 (bs, 1H) LC-MS (ESI) m/z 167 (M+H)+.
