Procedure

4-Methoxy-2-nitroaniline (5 g, 0.018 mol) was dissolved in pyridine (50) and treated with menthoyl chloride (3.57 g, 0.018 mol). The reaction mixture was heated to 50° C. and stirred vigorously for 6 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and poured into a mixture of CH2Cl2 (100 mL) and 1N HCl (100 mL)). The heterogeneous mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel where the aqueous phase was separated and re-extracted with CH2Cl2 (2×100 mL). The organic phases were combined and washed with 1N HCl (8×100 mL), H2O (1×100 mL), 1N NaOH (2×100 mL), brine (100 mL), dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (20 to 50% ethyl acetate/hexane for elution) provided the title compounds as colorless solid (4.9 g, 83%).
