Reaktionsschritte

A mixture of dimethyl-4-nitrophthalate (15.0 g, 62.7 mmol) and 10% Pd—C (1.5 g) in ethyl acetate (100 mL) was hydrogenated at 50 psi overnight. The reaction mixture was filtered through Celite, and the filter was washed with additional ethyl acetate (50 mL). The solvent was evaporated, and the residue was stirred in hexanes. The solid was filtered, washed with additional hexanes and dried to give 12.77 g of 4-amino-phthalic acid dimethyl ester as a pale orange solid, in 97% yield; 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 3.71 (s, 3H), 3.75 (s, 3H), 6.17 (s, 2H), 6.58-6.65 (m, 2H), 7.57 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H).
