Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-amino-3-hydroxy-benzoic acid ethyl ester (5.52 mmol; J. Reisch, G. M. K. B. Gunaherath Monatshefte für Chemie, 1988, 119, 1169-1178), acetyl chloride (6.07 mmol), NEt3 (6.07 mmo) and pyridinium p-toluenesulfonate (1.47 mmol) in xylene (60 mL) is heated at reflux for 16 h, cooled to rt, diluted with EtOAc and washed with water. The organic layer is dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo to give a crude product which is purified by flash chromatography (gradient: heptane to heptane/EtOAc 6/4). LC-MS: tR=0.81 min; [M+H]+=206.0.
