General description

Methyl 2-aminobenzoate reacts with 2,4-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3,2,4-dithiadiphosphetane-2,4-disulphide at 140°C to yield 1,2-dihydro-2-(p-methoxyphenyl)-4H-3,1,2-benzothiazaphosphorin-4-thione-2-sulfide and dimethyl-4-methoxyphenylphosphonotrithioate.

Application

Methyl 2-aminobenzoate has been used in the synthesis of novel 4-chloro-2-mercaptobenzenesulfonamide derivatives.

Bacillus megaterium, isolated in a screening process from topsoil, was used for N-demethylation of natural N-methyl methyl anthranilate to produce natural methyl anthranilate. Maximal productivity of 70 mg/L/day was achieved under laboratory-scale conditions without further optimization. No byproducts were observed.

Pd and CO--ureally got me! The title reaction proceeds efficiently at 18 degrees C under CO (1 atm) with 5 % [Pd(OTs)(2)(MeCN)(2)] as precatalyst. Depending on the solvents used, either anthranilates or cyclic imides can be obtained in high yields
