Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 4-acetamido-2-methoxy-5-nitrobenzoate (4.0 g; 14.9 mmol) and NaOH (40 mL, 1 M aq; 40 mmol) in EtOH (80 mL) was refluxed for 2 h. The mixture was cooled to rt and water (20 mL) was added. The mixture was acidified by HCl (6 M aq) and the sub-title compound was filtered off. Yield: 3.0 g (95%).
