Procedure

To a solution of 1-methyl 2-aminoterephthalate (10.0 g, 51.2 mmol) and NMM (5.75 mL, 1 equiv) in DME (90 mL) at −15° C. was added dropwise IBCl (6.7 mL, 1 equiv). The mixture was stirred at this temperature for 15 min. The salt was removed by filtration and the solution was cooled down to −15° C. A solution of NaBH4 (3.06 g, 1.5 equiv) in water (30 mL) was added carefully dropwise. At the end of the addition, water (100 mL) was added and the mixture was stirred at r.t. for 15 min. Aq NaOH (2N, 50 mL) was added and the aqueous phase was extracted twice with AcOEt. The organic phase were combined and dried (Na2SO4). The solution was concentrated in vacuo to afford a white solid (8.0 g, 86%) (ES-MS: m/z 182.1 [M+H]+, rt 3.50 min).
