Reaction Steps

(2-Nitro-phenyl)-acetic acid (10.93 g, 60.3 mmol) is dissolved in MeOH (200 mL) and HCl gas is bubbled through the solution for 10 min. The reaction is stirred capped for 18 h, then concentrated under reduced pressure to yield (2-nitro-phenyl)-acetic acid methyl ester as a yellow oil.
