Procedure

To a solution of 2-methyl-4-nitro phenylacetic acid methyl ester (10 mmol) in dry THF (20 mL) and methyl alcohol (20 mL), ammonium formate (0.1 mol) and 10% Pd/C (0.5 g) have been added and the resulting mixture has been left stirring for 3 h, until complete disappearance of the starting reagent. The catalyst has been filtered off and the filtrate evaporated under vacuum to give 2-methyl-4-amino phenylacetic acid methyl ester as a waxy solid (9.22 mmol).
