Procedure

Alternately, combine methyl 2-methoxy-5-aminobenzoate (1.5 g, 8.3 mmol) and dichloromethane (25 mL). Cool in an ice bath. Add N,N-diisopropylethylamine (3.2 mL, 18.2 mmol), and acetyl chloride (0.62 mL, 9.7 mmol). Warm to ambient temperature. After 4 hours, dilute the reaction mixture with dichloromethane and extract three times with half saturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution. Dry the organic layer over Na2SO4, filter, and evaporate in vacuo to give a residue. Chromatograph the residue on silica gel eluting with 3% methanol/dichloromethane/0.1% concentrated aqueous ammonia to give methyl 2-methoxy-5-acetamidobenzoate: mp; 132-134° C. Elemental Analysis calculated for C11H13NO4: C, 59.19; H, 5.87. Found C, 59.04; H, 5.86.
