Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: 453 parts of anthranilic acid methyl ester are reacted with 900 parts of n-propanol and 15 parts of potassium carbonate according to Example 1. The reaction lasts for about ten hours. There are obtained 495 parts of anthranilic acid-n-propyl ester (boiling point 128°-131° C. at 3-5 mm Hg; nD25 1,551; containing according to gas chromatography less than 0.2% of anthranilic acid methyl ester). The yield is 92% of the theory. The reaction lasts for about ten hours
