Benzoic acid, 3-nitro-5-(4-pyridinyl)-, methyl ester → HCID 67497400, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 3-nitro-5-(pyridin-4-yl)benzoate (45.1.B) (5.60 g, 21.62 mmol) in methanol (50 mL) was added 10% Pd on carbon by weight (2.50 g). The air was evacuated from the reaction flask and was replaced with hydrogen. The resulting slurry was stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture was then filtered and the mother liquor condensed to afford methyl 3-amino-5-(pyridin-4-yl)benzoate (45.1.C) (4.70 g, 95% yield) which was used in the next step without any further purification.
