Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-bromo-2-ethoxy-1-nitrobenzene (Preparation 100, 250 mg, 1.016 mmol) in EtOH (15 mL) was added tin (II) chloride (963 mg, 5.08 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated to 70° C. for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with ice-water (10 mL) and concentrated in vacuo. Aqueous Na2CO3 (2M, 20 mL) was added and the reaction mixture was extracted with EtOAc (3×20 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (30 mL), dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by passage through a SCX-2 cartridge eluting with 100% MeOH—1M NH3 in MeOH to give the title compound (179 mg, 82%).
