Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2.01 g (10 mmol) 2-hydroxy-3-nitro-benzoic acid methyl ester, 0.8 g of palladium (10 wt. % on carbon powder) and 30 mL of methanol was hydrogenated at 40 psi overnight. The reaction mixture was filtered over celite. Evaporation of the solvents in vacuo gave 3-Amino-2-hydroxy-benzoic acid methyl ester. LCMS: 168 (M+1)+.
