A series of mono‐ortho‐ and di‐ortho‐ substituted benzoic esters of 2‐diethylaminoethanol has been synthesised. Improved methods for the preparation of 2,6‐difluorobenzoic acid and 2,6‐dimethylbenzoic acid are reported. The preparation of esters of di‐ortho‐ substituted benzoic acids is discussed and an efficient method of esterification of these acids is described.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
