Procedure
4-tert-Butoxycarbonylamino-3-nitrobenzoic acid methyl ester (1.11 g, 3.75 mmol) was dissolved in ethyl acetate-methanol (1:1) (30 ml). Next, 10% palladium-carbon powder (200 mg, 5 mol %) was added to the aqueous solution under a nitrogen atmosphere, and the mixture was stirred overnight under a hydrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was filtered with celite, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain 3-amino-4-tert-butoxycarbonylaminobenzoic acid methyl ester. The compound was identified by LC-MS.
