Procedure

2-Nitro-terephthalic acid 1-tert-butyl ester 4-methyl ester (21.49 mmol) was dissolved in THF (143 mL) and treated with lithium hydroxide monohydrate (1.35 g, 32.24 mmol) in water (97 mL). The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours then partially evaporated, cooled with an ice/water bath and treated with 1N HCl dropwise (35 mL). Precipitation of a solid occurred. The mixture was then extracted with DCM (150 mL and 2×50 mL) The aqueous phase was further treated with 1N HCl (10 mL) and extracted with DCM (2×50 mL). The combined organic layers were then washed with water and finally with brine. After drying over sodium sulphate and evaporation, 5.34 g of title compound were obtained as a reddish solid in 93% overall yield.
