A mixture of 1,2-dimethoxy-4,5-dinitrobenzene (5.7 g, 25.0 mmol) in ethanol/acetic acid (140 mL, 1:1) was hydrogenated over palladium on carbon (10%, 1 g) at normal pressure and room temperature for 3 hours, then filtered through a pad of celite. The filtrate containing the crude diamine was treated with ethyl oxoacetate (50 wt % in toluene, 10 mL, 50 mmol) and the reaction was stirred at room temperature overnight. The resulting precipitate was collected by filtration. This material was suspended in a mixture of methanol/dichloromethane and solvent was removed under reduced pressure to remove traces of acetic acid to give 2.0 g (38%) of product as a solid.
