Reaction Steps

A solution of ethyl 2-carboethoxyamino-4-nitro-6-ethyl-benzoate in tetrahydrofuran (10 ml) and sodium hydroxide (20 ml, 10%) was stirred at room temperature for 20 hours. The solution was extracted with ethyl acetate. The aqueous layer was acidified to pH=1 with 6M HCl, and then immediately extracted with ethylacetate. The ethyl acetate extract was washed with water and dried over magnesium sulphate. Solvent evaporation gave a solid which was further recrystallized from methylene chloride:petroleum ether to yield 2-carboethoxyamino-4-nitro-6-ethyl benzoic acid,
