The reaction was stirred for 30 min at room temperature. Thin-layer chromatographic analysis (SiO2, 1:1 ethyl acetate:hexane) showed disappearance of the starting material along with the formation of a new higher-running spot (Rf =0.9). The reaction was poured into water and then extracted with ethyl acetate (3×500 mL). Next, the organic layer was washed with 1% sodium bicarbonate (500 mL) solution and then water (500 mL). The ethyl acetate layer was concentrated and the residue chromatographed (SiO2, 1:5 ethyl acetate:hexane). The fractions containing product were concentrated to give 17 g (49%) of ethyl 4-(2-methylpropionylamino)-3-nitrobenzoate as a yellow solid, mp 74°-76° C. An analytical sample was prepared by recrystallization from hexane. This material was collected by filtration and dried in vacuo at acetone reflux.
