Procedure

To a mixture of 2-tert-butyl-5-nitrobenzoic acid (120 mg, 0.53 mmol) and K2CO3 (147 mg, 1.1 mmol) in DMF (5.0 mL) was added CH3I (40 μL, 0.64 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 10 min, diluted with water and extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layers were washed with brine and dried over MgSO4. After filtration, the filtrate was concentrated to give methyl 2-tert-butyl-5-nitrobenzoate, which was used without further purification. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.20 (d, J=2.6 Hz, 1H), 8.17 (t, J=1.8 Hz, 1H), 7.66 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 1H), 4.11 (s, 3H), 1.43 (s, 9H).
