Procedure

A solution of ethyl 2-nitrophenylacetate (13.6 g, 0.065 mole) in ethanol (150 ml) was hydrogenated over 10% Pd/C catalyst (1 g) at room temperature and pressure for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was filtered through keiselguhr and concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound as a clear oil, which solidified on standing (10.8 g, 93%).
