Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 3-bromo-4-hydroxybenzoic acid (0.5 g) and DMF (0.1 ml) in DCM (10 ml) was added dropwise oxalyl chloride (0.6 ml). After stirring for 2 h, ammonia gas was purged through. After completion of reaction by tlc, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in water and extracted with ethyl acetate.
