Reaction Steps

A solution of 6-amino-2,3,4-tris(methyloxy)benzoic acid (2.7 g, 11.88 mmol) in THF (20 mL) and MeOH (20 mL) at 25° C. was treated with a solution of 2M TMS-diazomethane in Et2O (14.85 mL, 29.7 mmol) and stirred for 10 minutes before being concentrated to give methyl 6-amino-2,3,4-tris(methyloxy)benzoate (2.87 g, 99%) as a brown solid. MS (m/z) 242.1 (M+H+).
