From methyl N-benzylanthranilate there were obtained the alkyl (aryl) amides of N- benzylanthranilic acid (Ia, b, e, and f)(Table I). The arylamides of N-(4'-nitrobenzyl) anthranilic acid (Ic and d) were obtained by reaction of the anthranilic acid arylamides with 4- nitrobenzyl chloride [4] in pyridine. Treatment of (Ia-f) with acetic anhydride gave the N- acetyl-N-benzyl (4'-nitrobenzyl) anthranilic acid alkyl (aryl) amides (lla-f)(Table 2), which ...
