2-{6-[2-(2-Chlorophenyl)-5-(4-propoxyphenyl)-pyrrol-1ylmethyl]-2-nitro-pyridin-3-yloxy}-ethanol → 2-[(2-Amino-6-{[2-(2-chlorophenyl)-5-(4-propoxyphenyl)-1H-pyrrol-1-yl]methyl}pyridine-3-yl)oxy]ethanol

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.1 gm (0.2 mmol) of 2-{6-[2-(2-Chlorophenyl)-5-(4-propoxyphenyl)-pyrrol-1ylmethyl]-2-nitro-pyridin-3-yloxy}-ethanol in 4 mL of 1:1 ethanol-acetic acid was added 0.55 gm of Fe powder. The reaction mixture was allowed to stir at 96° C. for 2 h. The mixture was cooled and poured in 100 mL of saturated NaHCO3 and extracted twice with CH2Cl2. The combined organic layers were dried (Na2SO4) and the solvents removed under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography using 1%-2% methanol-chloroform-0.5% Et3N as an eluent to yield 0.037 gm (39% yield) of a solid mp 89-92° C. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ: 1.00 (t, 3H, J=7.4 Hz), 1.23 (br s, 3H), 1.77 (m, 2H), 3.88 (m, 4H), 3.98 (t, 2H, J=4.3 Hz), 4.99 (s, 2H), 5.65 (d, 1H, J=8.05 Hz), 6.29 (s, 2H), 6.72 (d, 1H, J=8.05 Hz), 6.84 (d, 1H, J=8.78 Hz), 7.21 (m, 2H), 7.25 (m, 3H), 7.36 (m, 1H); MS (ES) m/z 478.2 ([M+H]+).
