A solution of sodium dithionite (14.0 g, 20.0 mM) and sodium carbonate (6.7 g) in 200 mL of water was slowly added to a solution of methyl 2-chloro-3-nitrobenzoate (6.0 g, 27.9 mM) in 40 mL methanol and 40 mL of tetrahydrofuran at 25° C. over 30 minutes. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for an additional 30 minutes, then extracted with ethyl acetate. The extracts were washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to afford 1.2 g (33%) of methyl 2-chloro-3-aminobenzoate as a yellow oil, identical in all respects to the material derived via catalytic hydrogenation described above.
