Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Pentyl 3-amino-4-methoxybenzoate (0.744 g, 4.45 mmol), methylene chloride (15 ml) and dimethylsulfide (0.33 ml, 4.50 mmol) were mixed, and after cooling to -30° C., N-chlorosuccinimide (601 mg, 4.5 mmol) was added to this solution. After sti ring for 1 hour, triethylamine (0.627 ml, 4.5 mmol) was added, and the mixture was refluxed under heating for 0.5 hour. Saturated brine (0.5 ml) was added to stop the reaction, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by column chromatography (hemne/ethyl acetate=4/1) to give pentyl 3-amino-4-methoxy-2-methylthiomethylbenzoate (0.83 g, 82%) as a brown oil.
