Procedure: To a solution of 16.0 g (76.6 mmole) of dimethyl aminoterephthalate in 200 ml of anhydrous THF cooled to −78° C. is added 250 ml (250 mmole) of 1 M Super Hydride dropwise over 1 hour. The mixture is stirred for an additional 1.5 hours warming to 0° C. (a little starting material on TLC is observed). The mixture is poured into 300 ml of cold water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer is washed with water and the two layers are allowed to stand for 30 minutes. The organic layer is dried over MgSO4 and filtered. The filtrate is evaporated. The residue is dissolved in ethyl acetate and the solution is poured over a Buchner funnel containing silica gel, using 150 ml of ethyl acetate to wash the funnel. The filtrate is evaporated. The residue is dissolved in the minimum amount of ethyl acetate and the solution is diluted to the cloudy point with hexane. Additional hexane is added as the product precipitates. A total of 100 ml of hexane is added and the solid is collected and vacuum dried to give 8.4 g of the title intermediate material, 98-100° C. mp; 61% yield. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz) δ 7.82 (d, 1H), 6.67 (s, 1H), 6.60 (d, 1H), 5.75 (bs, 2H), 4.62 (s, 2H), 3.86 (s, 3H), 1.83 (bs, 1H).
