The mixture was cooled to room temperature and the catalyst was filtered off through a pad of celite. Most of the MeOH was removed in vacuo and the residue was partitioned between saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution and AcOEt. The aqueous phase was re-extracted with AcOEt. The combined organic phases were dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo to give 3-amino-5-ethoxy-benzoic acid methyl ester (D49) (8.8 g, 99%) as a pale green solid which was used in the next step without further purification.
