Reaction Steps

5-Nitro-3-hydroxymethyl benzoic acid (39.6 g, 0.20 mol) was suspended in a mixture of dioxane (25 ml) and water (50 ml). Palladium on carbon (5%) was added and the mixture was hydrogenated in a Parr apparatus until the stoichiometric amount of hydrogen had been consumed. The catalyst was filtered off and the filtrate passed into concentrated hydrochloric acid (12M, 17 ml). The filtrate was evaporated to dryness to give 40.6 g of a crystalline product. Yield is almost quantitative. The product was used without further purification.
