Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 2-bromo-3-nitrobenzoate (3 g, 12.19 mmol) in DMF (33 mL), sodium carbonate (5.16 g, 48.67 mmol) and methyl iodide (6.92 g, 48.67 mmol) were added. Resulting reaction mixture was heated at 60° C. for 4 h. On completion, water was added to the mixture and extraction carried out using DCM. The combined organic layers were dried and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain crude methyl 2-bromo-3-nitrobenzoate (4 g, crude).
