Reaction Steps

Triethylamine (18 mL, 130 mmol) was added to methyl 2-amino-5-bromobenzoate (25 g, 110 mmol) in DCM (150 mL). The mixture was cooled to 0° C. and 2-(3-chlorophenyl)acetyl chloride (24.3 g, 130 mmol) in DCM (100 mL) was added. The mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature overnight with stirring. Aqueous K2CO3 (10 wt. %) was added and the mixture was extracted with DCM. The organic phase was dried (MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated to yield the title compound.
