Procedure

Combine methyl 2-methoxy-5-aminobenzoate (2.0 g, 11 mmol), pyridine, 2.8 mL, 35 mmol), and acetic anhydride (3.2 mL, 34 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (50 mL). After 20 hours, concentrate the reaction mixture in vacuo to remove most of the tetrahydrofuran, partition between ethyl acetate and water. Separate the layers and extract the aqueous layer twice with ethyl acetate. Combine the organic layers, extract with brine, dry over MgSO4, filter, and evaporate in vacuo to give a residue. Crystallize the residue from ethyl acetate/cyclohexane to give methyl 2-methoxy-5-acetamidobenzoate.
