Procedure

A solution of 3-methyl-2-nitrobenzoic acid (2.00 g, 11.0 mmol) and triethylamine (1.22 g, 12.1 mmol) in 25 mL of methylene chloride was cooled to 10° C. Ethyl chloroformate was carefully added and a solid precipitate formed. After stirring for 30 minutes isopropylamine (0.94 g, 16.0 mmol) was added and a homogeneous solution resulted. The reaction was stirred for an additional hour, poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic extract were washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated under reduced pressure to afford 1.96 g of the desired intermediate as a white solid melting at 126-128° C.
