Acetic Acid → Tert-butyl 2-amino-4-bromobenzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Iron powder 3.0 g were added to a mixed solution methanol 28 mL and acetic acid 28 mL of tert-butyl 4-bromo-2-nitrobenzoate 5.5 g, it was heated and refluxed for 1 hour. After the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate aqueous solution and ethyl acetate were added to it, and insoluble matter was filtrated. The organic layer was separated and collected,dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate after sequential washing with saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate aqueous solution and saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure to give tert-butyl 2-amino-4-bromobenzoate 4.3 g of pale yellow oil.
