Procedure

A solution of 2-fluoro-4-nitrobenzoic acid ethyl ester (770 mg, 3.62 mmol) in methyl alcohol (15 mL) was treated with platinum (IV) oxide (75 mg) at 40 psi of H2. After 0.5 h the reaction mixture was filtered through celite and concentrated in vacuo to give 700 mg (Y: 99%) of the title product; 1H-NMR (CDCl3): δ 7.76 (t, J=8.3 Hz, 1H), 6.42 (d, J=8.5 Hz, 1H), 6.35 (d, J=12.9 Hz, 1H), 4.33 (q, J=7.1 Hz, 2H), 4.20 (bs, 2H), 1.36 (t, J=7.1 Hz, 3H); MS (DCI) m/e: 184 (MH+).
