Reaction Steps

2-Bromomethyl-4-nitro-benzoic acid methyl ester (1.0 g, 3.64 mmol) was stirred in ethylamine (30 ml, 2.0M solution in THF) at room temperature. The reaction was stirred for 3 hrs, after which time the solvent was evaporated in vacuo and the crude residue triturated with diethyl ether. The resulting orange solid was filtered and dried in a vacuum oven (40° C.) to afford the title compound (634 mg, 85%). HPLC retention time 3.56 min. Mass spectrum (ES+) m/z 207 (M+H).
