Methyl 3-methyl-2-nitrobenzoate (98.5 g, 505 mmol), 5% Pd/C (Degussa CE 105 XRC/W, 1.0 g), and acetonitrile (300 mL) were combined in a 600-mL pressure vessel. The mixture was heated to 70° C. and hydrogenated at 65 psi (450 kPa) for 8 h. More 5% Pd/C (1.0 g) was added and hydrogenation was continued at 100 psi (690 kPa) for 8.5 h. Then the reaction mixture was cooled, purged with nitrogen, and filtered through Celite® diatomaceous filter aid, rinsing with acetonitrile (3×25 mL). The combined filtrates were partly evaporated to a weight of ˜160 g, and then diluted with acetonitrile to a total weight of 200g. Quantitative HPLC of this solution showed 40.3 wt % of the title compound (80.6 g, 97.5% yield).
