Picolyl chloride → (Pyridin-2-yl)methyl 2-(2,3-dimethylanilino)benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 2.36 g amount of sodium N-(2,3-xylyl)anthranilate was dissolved in 20 ml of dimethyl formamide and 1.25 g of 2-chloromethyl pyridine was then added thereto. The mixture was allowed to react at a temperature of 90° C. for 3 hours. After the reaction, the solvent was distilled off in vacuo and the residue was charged with water. The mixture was then extracted with ether. After dehydration, the ether was distilled off and the resultant residue was recrystallized from methanol. Thus, 3.00 g of the desired pale yellow 2-pyridylmethyl-N-(2,3-xylyl)anthranilate having the following physical properties was obtained.
