Participants

Reaction Steps

According to the procedure described in Example 6A Step 3, a mixture of methyl 5-hydroxy-4-methoxy-2-nitrobenzoate (3.88 g, 17.1 mmol) and Pd/C in EtOAc (100 mL) was stirred under 1 atmosphere of hydrogen at room temperature overnight, to afford methyl 2-amino-5-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzoate as a solid (3.1 g, 92%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 8.31 (s, 1H), 7.08 (s, 1H), 6.31 (s, 1H), 6.24 (s, 1H), 3.74 (s, 3H), 3.72 (s, 3H).
