Procedure

To a mixture of 3-amino-4-(methoxycarbonyl)benzoic acid (781 mg, 4.0 mmol) suspended in acetic acid (10 mL) and conc. HCl (10 mL) was added aq. NaNO2 (276 mg, 4.0 mmol, 5 mL) at 0° C. The resulting mixture was stirred for 30 minutes. CuCl (400 mg, 8.0 mmol) in 10 mL of conc. HCl. was added to the mixture at 0° C. The resulting mixture was stirred at 30° C. for 6 hours. Followed a standard aqueous/EtOAc workup procedure (800 mg, yield 93%).
