Sodium Hydroxide → Methyl 3-amino-2-chlorobenzoate

Temperature

55 °C

A solution of stannous chloride (27.0 g, 137.0 mM) in 55 mL of concentrated hydrochloric acid was slowly added to a solution of methyl 2-chloro-3-nitrobenzoate (6.0 g, 27.9 mM) in 75 mL ethanol at 15-20° C. over 1 hour. The mixture was then heated at 50-60° C. for 15 minutes. The mixture was cooled to room temperature and made alkaline by slow addition of solid sodium hydroxide maintaining a temperature of 30-35° C. The resultant mixture was extracted three times with chloroform. The extracts were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to afford 2.6 g (50%) of methyl 2-chloro-3-aminobenzoate as a yellow oil, identical in all respects to the material derived via catalytic hydrogenation described above.
