Tetrahydrofuran → HCID 67404328, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Amino-2-methyl-3-nitrobenzoic acid (1.87 g, 9.54 mmol) was solubilized in methanol (100 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (100 mL) and was treated with (trimethylsilyl)diazomethane solution (5.3 mL, 10.5 mmol, 2.0M in diethyl ether). After the reaction was shown to be complete, the mixture was concentrated and the residue was purified via column chromatography (silica gel, 5:1 hexanes/ethyl acetate) to give 1.10 g (55% yield) of methyl 4-amino-2-methyl-3-nitrobenzoate. 1H NMR (400 MHz, d6-DMSO): 7.73 (d, 1H), 6.75 (d, 1H), 6.51 (broad s, 2H), 3.75 (s, 3H), 2.37 (s, 3H). MS (EI) for C9H10N2O4: 210 (MH+).
