Reaction Steps

By the method of Example 2, Step A, 3.35 g (0.0091 mole) of methyl 2-[2-(3-fluoro-4-nitrophenoxymethyl)-5-methylphenoxy]propionate was reacted with 2.80 g (0.050 mole) of powdered iron in 100 mL of acetic acid, yielding 1.86 g of methyl 2-[2-(4-amino-3-fluorophenoxymethyl)-5-methylphenoxy]propionate as an amber syrup. The NMR and IR spectra were consistent with the proposed structure.
