Isopropyl salicylate

Conditions: temp:120.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: 4-Chloro-6,7-dimethoxyquinoline (112 mg), isopropyl salicylate (360 mg), and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (244 mg) were suspended in o-dichlorobenzene (1 ml), and the suspension was stirred at 120° C. overnight. The reaction solution was cooled to room temperature, and the solvent was removed by distillation under the reduced pressure. Water was then added to the residue, and the mixture was extracted with chloroform. The chloroform layer was washed with water and was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed therefrom by distillation under the reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by column chromatography using acetone-hexane to give the title compound (38 mg, yield 21%). The reaction solution was cooled to room temperature the solvent was removed by distillation under the reduced pressure Water was then added to the residue the mixture was extracted with chloroform The chloroform layer was washed with water was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate The solvent was removed by distillation under the reduced pressure the residue was purified by column chromatography

Procedure: CDI (2.34 g, 14.48 mmol) was added to a solution of salicylic acid (2.00 g, 14.48 mmol) in DMF (40 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 4 h and isopropyl alcohol (2.80 mL, 36.20 mmol) was dropwise added. The reaction mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 16 h and allowed to reach r.t. It was poured into H2O (50 mL) and extracted with Et2O (2×40 mL). The organic layer was washed with NaHCO3 (20 mL, saturated aqueous solution), dried over Na2SO4 (anhydrous), filtered and concentrated. The crude residue was flash chromatographed on SiO2 (5% EtOAc/hexanes) to furnish 1.395 g of isopropyl 2-hydroxybenzoate (colourless oil, yield: 54%). The reaction mixture was stirred at 50° C. for 16 h to reach r.t extracted with Et2O (2×40 mL) The organic layer was washed with NaHCO3 (20 mL, saturated aqueous solution) dried over Na2SO4 (anhydrous) filtered concentrated chromatographed on SiO2 (5% EtOAc/hexanes)
