Tert-butyl 2-methoxy-5-nitrophenylcarbamate → tert-butyl N-(5-amino-2-methoxyphenyl)carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1,1-dimethylethyl [2-(methyloxy)-5-nitrophenyl]carbamate (6 g, 22 mmol) in absolute ethanol (150 mL) was hydrogenated with 10% Pd/C (˜1.00 g, Lancaster) at 50 psi overnight. The catalyst was removed by vacuum filtration through a celite pad, rinsed with methanol, and filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to provide 1,1-dimethylethyl [5-amino-2-(methyloxy)phenyl]carbamate (4.8 g, 90%) as a tan solid. ESIMS (M+H)+=239.
