Procedure

A mixture of (4-fluoro-2-methyl-5-nitrophenyl) methyl carbonate (8 g, 35 mmol), (EP 0307777 A2), and platinum(IV)oxide (174 mg) in ethanol (100 ml) and ethyl acetate (70 ml) was stirred under hydrogen at 1.3 atmospheres pressure for 1.5 hours. The catalyst was removed by filtration through diatomaceous earth and the solvent removed by evaporation. The residue was purified by column chromatography eluting with petroleum ether/ethyl acetate (7/3) to give 2-fluoro-5-methoxycarbonyloxy-4-methylaniline (6.56 g, 94%) as an oil which crystallised.
