Description

Methyl 4-amino-3-methylbenzoate is an aromatic compound that belongs to the class of achyranthes bidentata. It can be synthesized by reacting butyryl chloride with methyl 3-nitrobenzoate. The five-membered ring in this molecule is derived from the reaction of three molecules of butyryl chloride with one molecule of methyl 3-nitrobenzoate. This reaction produces a number of possible products, including methyl 4-amino-3-methylbenzoate and 2,2,2-trichloroethyl 4-(4'-nitrophenyl)butanoate. The synthesis optimizes the reaction conditions by using a catalytic reduction technique. This reduces the amount of anilines produced and increases the yield of desired product (i.e., methyl 4-amino-3-methylbenzoate).
