Procedure

To a solution of 1-(4-fluorophenyl)-2,5-bis(4-nitrophenyl)-1H-pyrrole (1.017 g, 2.496 mmol) in ethanol (15 mL) and THF (15 mL) was added iron powder (0.836 g, 14.98 mmol) followed by ammonium chloride (0.401 g, 7.49 mmol) and water (3.75 mL). The reaction mixture was refluxed for 45 minutes. The reaction mixture was slurry filtered through diatomaceous earth and washed with ethanol. The combined filtrates were concentrated, and the residue purified by column chromatography (gradient elution from 30% to 50% EtOAc:hexanes) to provide 1.09 g (77%) of the title compound.
