A mixture of 16.5 g (100 mmol) of methyl 3-amino-4-methylbenzoate and 300 ml of CCl4 was treated with 18.6 g (105 mmol) of N-bromosuccinimide and stirred at ambient temperature for 4 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered, and the filtrate was evaporated at reduced pressure to afford an amber oil. To remove material resulting from bromination at the 6-position, the crude product was taken up in 100 ml of hexane and 60 ml of ether and treated with 3.96 g (50.0 mmol) of pyridine and 3.06 g (30.0 mmol) of acetic anhydride. After stirring for 3 hours at 25° C., the precipitate was removed by filtration. The filtrate was evaporated at reduced pressure to yield an amber oil. The crude product was purified by HPLC to afford 14.5 g (59%) of the desired product as an amber oil. IR and 1H NMR spectra were in agreement with the assigned structure.
