Ammonium Chloride → 1-[5-Amino-3-chloro-2-(5-methyl-benzothiazol-2-ylsulfanyl)-phenyl]-ethanone

To a solution of 1-[3-chloro-5-nitro-2-(5-methyl-benzothiazol-2-ylsulfanyl)-phenyl]-ethanone (264) (3.87 g, 10.2 mmol) in 2:2:1 of EtOH/THF/H2O, was added ammonium chloride (Aldrich 2.74 g, 51.2 mmol) and iron powder (Aldrich, 2.87 g, 51.2 mmol). The mixture was refluxed for 3 hours. The mixture was filtered through Celite pad while it was hot, washed the Celite pad with EtOAc. The filtrate was diluted with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution and was extracted 3× with EtOAc (150 mL). The organic layers were combined and washed twice with a brine solution (100 mL), dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated under vacuum. The crude solid was chromatographed (0–15% EtOAc in CH2Cl2) to yield 2.42 g (68%) of compound 276 as a pale yellow solid.
