Sodium Dithionite → tert-Butyl 2-(4-amino-2-chlorophenoxy)ethyl(2,4-difluorobenzyl)carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl 2-(2-chloro-4-nitrophenoxy)ethyl-(2,4-difluorobenzyl)-carbamate (1.8 g, 4.06 mmol) in 70% aqueous ethanol (30 mL) was added sodium dithionite (2.87 g, 16.25 mmol), and the reaction mixture was heated to reflux for 3 hours. The hot reaction mixture was filtered and the residue washed with EtOAc (30 mL). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine (2×20 mL), dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated to give the title product (1.6 g, 95%) which was used in the next step without further purification.
