4-Nitroanthranilic acid → 2-Amino-4-nitrobenzoyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Amino-4-nitrobenzoic acid (15 g, 82 mmol) was refluxed with sulfurous dichloride (40 mL, 82 mmol) for 2.5 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and concentrated to give Intermediate 69A (19.7 g, 119%) as a brown oil. HPLC: Rt=2.323 (as methyl ester) min. (CHROMOLITH® column 4.6×50 mm eluting with 10-90% aqueous methanol over 4 min. containing 0.1% TFA, 4 mL/min., monitoring at 220 nm.). MS (ES): m/z=197 (as methyl ester) [M+H]+.
