Reaktionsschritte

A solution of 4-nitro-2-chlorobenzoic acid methyl ester (Aldrich, 700 mg, 3.24 mmol) in ethyl acetate (50 mL) was added 10% Pd/C (50 mg). The mixture was vigorously shaken in a Parr under an atmosphere of hydrogen (50 psi) for 3 h. The mixture was filtered through a short pad of celite and the filtrate was concentrated to give 4-amino-2-chlorobenzoic acid methyl ester as a light yellow solid which was directly used for the next step.
