HCID 21875908Methyl 2-methoxy-4-nitrobenzeneacetate

Procedure

To a solution of 2-(2-methoxy-4-nitrophenyl)acetic acid (step 2, 1.2 g, 5.5 mmol) in methanol/dichloromethane (11 ml, 1/1) was added trimethylsillyldiazomethane (2 M, 5.6 ml, 11.8 mmol) and stirred for 10 min at room temperature. The mixture was quenched with saturated citric acid aqueous solution and the extracted with ethyl acetate (3×20 ml). The organic layer was washed with brine, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated to give 1.2 g of title compound as orange solid.
