Reaction Steps

350 g of 2-hydroxy-4-(hydroxymethyl)benzoic acid methyl ester and 160 g of hydroxylamine hydrochloride were added to 700 mL of methanol. Under heating reflux, 1.11 kg of 28% sodium methoxide/methanol solution was added dropwise, and this was stirred for 3 hours. To this, 2.1 L of water was added and 850 mL of solvent was distilled off under atmospheric pressure. Then, 196 mL of hydrochloric acid was added at 40-50° C. The result was stirred for 30 minutes at the same temperature, and 116 mL of hydrochloric acid was added dropwise. After filtering solids, 291 g of N,2-dihydroxy-4-(hydroxymethyl)benzamide was obtained in the form of a pale yellowish-white solid.
