Reaction Steps

A solution of ethyl (3-methoxy-4-nitrobenzyl)methylphosphinate (0.64 g, 2.34 mmol) in ethanol (5.0 mL) was charged with palladium 10% wt on activated carbon (0.25 g). The reaction mixture was evacuated and purged with hydrogen gas (3×) and allowed to stir under hydrogen for 16 h. The reaction mixture was filtered through a pad of celite and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo to afford 0.54 g of ethyl (4-amino-3-methoxybenzyl)methylphosphinate (yield: 95% yield). This material was used in successive reactions without further purification. MS (ES+): m/z 244.01 [MH+] (ZQ3, polar 5 min).
