EFFICIENT NEW PROCESS FOR SYNTHESIS OF 2-AMINO-5-CHLORO-N-,3-DIMETHYLBENZAMIDE

Abstract:

Described herein are novel methods of synthesizing 2-amino-5-chloro-N,3-dimethylbenzamide. Compounds prepared by the methods disclosed herein are useful for preparation of certain anthranilamide compounds that are of interest as insecticides, such as, for example, the insecticides chlorantraniliprole and cyantraniliprole. ##STR00001##
