Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino-methyl)-6-nitro-benzoic acid methyl ester (38.96 g, 126 mmol) lithium hydroxide (3.61 g, 151 mmol) in methanol (450 mL) and water (225 mL) was stirred with a mechanical stirrer at room temp overnight. The methanol was evaporated and to the aqueous solution, was added 1 N HCl (200 mL) to form the precipitate. Ether (300 mL) was added, and the mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 2 hours. The suspension was filtered, washed with water (100 mL) and ether (100 mL), and suction dried in hood overnight to give 2-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino-methyl)-6-nitro-benzoic acid as a yellow solid (22.4 g, 60% yield). The product was used in the next step without further purification.
