Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-hydroxybenzoic acid (5 g), dimethyl formamide (50 ml), 3,4-dichloronitrobenzene (7 g) and anhydrous potassium carbonate (10 g) was stirred and heated at 100° C. for 14 hours. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue poured into water and acidified with 2 molar hydrochloric acid. The yellow solid which separated was recrystallised from toluene to give the required benzoic acid derivative (8.0 g) with a melting point of 172°-173° C.
