Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-(2-amino-3-nitrobenzoyl)amino-3-methoxy-N-methyl-N-[4-methyl-2-[5-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)carbonylpent-1-yloxy]phenyl]benzamide (3.88 g) in ethanol (40 ml) were added a solution of ammonium chloride (385 mg) in water (10 ml) and iron powder (2.01 g) and the mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 2 hours. The mixture was filtered through a bed of celite and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was diluted with ethyl acetate and the solution was washed with aqueous saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and brine. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate and the solution was concentrated in vacuo to give 4-(2,3-diaminobenzoyl)amino-3-methoxy-N-methyl-N-[4-methyl-2-[5-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)carbonylpent-1-yloxy]phenyl]benzamide as a yellow powder 13.42 g).
