%0 Journal Article %T Efficient 'One Pot' Nitro Reduction-Protection of ¦Ã-Nitro Aliphatic Methyl Esters %A D¨ªaz-Couti£¿o %A Francisco D. %A Escalante %A Jaime %J Journal of the Mexican Chemical Society %D 2009 %I Sociedad Qu¨ªmica de M¨¦xico %X a simple and efficient protocol has been developed for the direct conversion of ¦Ã-nitro aliphatic methyl esters to n-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amine methyl esters using nh4+hco2- and pd/c in the presence of (boc)2o. there was a significant decrease in the reaction time under these conditions, increased yields and the purity of the products using this 'one pot' procedure. %K 'one-pot' reaction %K ¦Ã-nitro reduction %K n-boc-amino protection. %U http://www.scielo.org.mx/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S1870-249X2009000300003&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en
