Reaction Steps

5-(6-(benzyloxy)-5-(trifluoromethyl)naphthalen-2-yl)-2,2-dimethyl-5-nitro-1,3-dioxinane (2.00 g, 0.00433 mol) was dissolved in acetic acid (20 mL, 0.4 mol), followed by zinc (2.834 g, 0.04334 mol) in small portions at 23° C. The reaction mixture was then allowed to stir at 23° C. for 4 hours. Excess of acetic acid was removed, and the residue was treated with DCM, and filtered. The organic layer was then treated with NaOH (2N, 2 mL), and separated. The organic layer washed with water (30 mL) and brine (30 mL), and then dried over Na2SO4. Removal of the solvent gave a pure product (1.88 g, 100%). MS (ES, to M+1): 432.30.
