Tert-butyl 4-(2-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)(methyl)amino)phenyl)-2-nitrobenzoate → Tert-butyl 2-amino-4-(2-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)(methyl)amino)phenyl)benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution mixture of tert-butyl 4-(2-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)(methyl)amino)phenyl)-2-nitrobenzoate (57 mg) in ethyl acetate (2.5 mL) and methanol (2.5 mL), 10% palladium-carbon (11 mg) was added. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours under a hydrogen atmosphere. The insoluble substance was removed by filtration, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography [eluent: 95-85% hexane/ethyl acetate] to obtain 48 mg of tert-butyl 2-amino-4-(2-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)(methyl)amino)phenyl)benzoate as a white solid.
