METHYL 3-METHOXY-4-METHYLBENZOATE Usage And Synthesis
PreparationMethyl 3-methoxy-4-methylbenzoate is synthesized by the following steps:A mixture of methyl 3-hydroxy-4-methylbenzoate 36 (25 g, 0.151 mol),  Me2SO4 (28.3 ml, 0.386 mol), anhydrous K2CO3 (103.5 g, 0.75 mol) was  refluxed in acetone for 2 hours. K2CO3 was filtered off, washed  thoroughly with acetone. The filtrates were combined and concentrated,  the residue was redissolved in EtOAc washed with water, dried  (anhydrous Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo to furnish a white solid (19.52 g).  Yield : 72%.
Chemical PropertiesWhite low melting solid
UsesMethyl 3-Methoxy-4-methylbenzoate has been used as a reactant in the preparation of an antimalaria drug that consists of the 4-aminoquinoline pharmacophore of chloroquine with clotrimazole-based antimalarials.
