2-Methyl-4-[(2-methylbenzoyl)amino]benzoic acid (CAS: 317374-08-6) is typically synthesized via a multi-step process involving the coupling of 2-methylbenzoyl chloride with an amino group followed by esterification. Common solvents include dichloromethane and triethylamine, with a catalyst like 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP) to enhance reaction selectivity and yield. The final product is isolated by recrystallization from a suitable solvent.
