4-bromo-2-cyclopentyl-5-nitrophenyl methyl carbonate (211 mg, 0.61 mmol) was dissolved in a mixture of glacial acetic acid (3 mL) and water (1 mL). Additional acetic acid (1 mL) was added to facilitate stirring. Zn dust (401 mg, 6.13 mmol) was added at room temperature and the reaction stirred for 10 min. The reaction was diluted with acetonitrile (5 mL) and methanol (5 mL) and filtered. The solution was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with 50% saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (2×20 mL) and brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and dried down to provide 5-amino-4-bromo-2-cyclopentylphenyl methyl carbonate as a light orange solid (189 mg, 98% yield). LC/MS m/z 315.0 [M+H]+.
