Methyl 3-methoxy-4-nitrobenzoate → Methyl 4-amino-3-methoxybenzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

10% palladium-carbon (containing 50% water, 15 g) was added to a solution of methyl 3-methoxy-4-nitrobenzoate (150 g) in methanol (600 mL) and THF (300 mL), and the reaction solution was stirred at a hydrogen pressure of 0.9 MPa at 50° C. to 64° C. for 6.5 hours. The reaction solution was left to cool to room temperature and then filtered through celite. The resulting filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain 134 g of the title compound. The property values corresponded to the reported values (CAS #41608-64-4).
