Methanol → HCID 19829819, compound

A mixture of 3-bromoaniline (88.6 g), methyl chloroacetate (44 ml), sodium acetate trihydrate (114 g) and methanol (70 ml) was heated under reflux for 18 h. The mixture was poured into water (500 ml) and extracted with dichloromethane (3×250 ml). The combined, dried organic extracts were evaporated and the residue was treated with 10% concentrated sulphuric acid in methanol (250 ml). After 3 h the solution was poured carefully into 8% sodium bicarbonate (1200 ml). The resulting solid was filtered off, dissolved in dichloromethane (1000 ml), and this solution was dried and evaporated to give a solid (94 g). A portion of this solid (1 g) was purified by FCC eluting with System A (1:1) to give a semi-solid which was recrystallised from System A to give the title compound, m.p. 66°-68°.
