Procedure

A mixture of (4-fluoro-2-methyl-5-nitrophenyl) methyl carbonate (3 g, 13 mmol), (EP 0307777 A2), and platinum(IV)oxide (300 mg) in ethanol (60 ml) was stirred under hydrogen at 0.3 atmosphere for 1 hour. The catalyst was removed by filtration through diatomaceous earth and the solvent removed by evaporation to give 2-fluoro-5-methoxycarbonyloxy-4-methylaniline (2.6 g, 100%) as a solid.
