Reaction Steps

A suspension of 2-nitro-4-chloro-6-methylanisole (16 g) and 10% Pt(S)/C (1.6 g) in ethanol was hydrogenated at 50 psi for 3 hours. After filtration and concentration, purification by flash chromatography over silica gel (eluted with 10% ethyl acetate in hexanes) gave 12.3 g (90%) of 2-amino-4-chloro-6-methylanisole. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ6.58 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1 H), 6.53 (d, J=2.4 Hz, 1 H), 3.77 (s, 3 H), 2.22 (s, 3 H).
