How is Methyl (2-aminophenyl)acetate (CAS: 35613-44-6) typically synthesized?
Answer
Methyl (2-aminophenyl)acetate (CAS: 35613-44-6) is synthesized via a condensation reaction between 2-aminophenol and acetic anhydride. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions in the presence of a catalytic amount of a Lewis acid, such as aluminum chloride, to selectively form the desired ester. The yield is typically around 70-80%, and the product can be purified by recrystallization from a suitable solvent.
