So if i go from o-nitrotuluene -> o-nitrobenzoic acid via chromic acid -> anthranilic acid via Sn/HCl -> methyl anthranilate via Fishcer est. w/MeOH I should be ok?

I'm curious to try out the sodium dithionite as a reducing agent but I already bought the tin shot for the Sn/HCl route and with the fall semester right around the corner I'm not in a position to buy anything else.

I ran the oxidation of my o-NT using a scaled down procedure taken from a chemplayer video ->https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3O_MCfUNDVI

My yield 'looked' good considering I only started with 6.2g of o-nitrotoluene, its still drying right now before I can weigh it and calculate a percent yield. But my product doesn't look as yellow as chemplayer's. Does this look like o-nitrobenzoic acid to anyone here who might have seen the chem before? I'm going to take a melting point later to test the identity and purtiy.
