Reaction Steps

A mixture of the methyl 6-nitro-1,3-benzodioxole-5-carboxylate, 5% palladium on carbon (1.5 g), ethyl acetate (180 mL) and methanol (80 mL) was stirred 3 hours under a hydrogen atmosphere (15 psi). The mixture was filtered and concentrated and the residue was recrystallized from cyclohexane (200 mL) to give methyl 6-amino-1,3-benzodioxole-5-carboxylate (6.3 g, 32 mmol), m.p. 107°-108° C.
