Production method by benzoic acid methyl via nitrification. Will join dry sulfuric acid reaction pot, cold to 0-10 ℃, slowly add benzoic acid, methyl again drops add hair smoke of sulfuric acid and nitric acid mixture, the control system of temperature 5-15 ℃. Add finish, within 15 ℃ reaction 1h. Cooling, ice between nitro benzoic acid methyl exudates. Filtration, use alcohol washed oil strings, washing to finished products. Yield 80%.
