5-Hydroxy-4-methoxy-2-nitrobenzoic acid → 2-Amino-5-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-hydroxy-4-methoxy-6-nitrobenzoic acid (Journal of Natural Product, 1986, 49 (3), 445-448) (10.0 g, 46.9 mmol) in methanol (150 mL) was added 10% Pd/C (0.1 eq.). The reaction was stirred under a hydrogen atmosphere (1 atm.) at room temperature for 5 h. The solution was filtered and the filtrate was evaporated to afford 2-amino-5-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzoic acid (INTERMEDIATE V1.1) (7.0 g, 38.3 mmol, 82%).
