The mixture was filtered and the filtrate was evaporated. The residue was chromatographed on silica-gel with CHCl3 as eluent, and the solid obtained was further purified by recrystallization from CHCl3-n-hexane to give 805 mg (78%) methyl 4-amino-3-methoxybenzoate as white plates. mp 126-128; IR (KBr) 3475, 1700 cm−1; 1H-NMR (CDCl3) δ3.86 (3H, s), 3.89 (3H, s), 4.21 (2H, br s), 6.66 (1H, d, J=8.3 Hz), 7.45 (1H, d, J=1.9 Hz), 7.54 (1H, dd, J=1.9 and 8.3 Hz); MS (FAB) m/z 182 (M++1); Anal.
