Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1-[(cyclopentylsulfonyl)methyl]-3-nitrobenzene (4.9 g) in ethanol (37 mL) and water (11.1 mL) was treated with ammonium chloride (4.9 g) at 0° C. Then zinc powder (5.9 g) was cautiously added in portions and stirred for 3 hours at room temperature. Then the mixture was filtered over cellite, washed with ethanol, condensed to dryness, treated with ethyl acetate, washed with brine, dried with sodium sulfate and condensed to dryness. Crystallization of the crude product (4.5 g) from diethyl ether furnished the pure title compound (3.6 g).
