Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Benzyl N,N′-dicyclohexylimidocarbamate (0.82 g) was added to a DMF (3 mL) solution of 2-amino-3-nitrobenzoic acid (0.36 g), followed by heating up to 70° C. and stirring for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, then an ethyl acetate/ether (1/1) solution was poured into it, and the insoluble matter was separated by filtration. The filtrate was washed with aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution and water in that order, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=3/1) to obtain benzyl 2-amino-3-nitrobenzoate (0.42 g). FA: 273.
