Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Iron (365 mg) was added to a stirred solution of 3-[(1R)-1-(2,6-dichloro-3-fluorophenyl)ethoxy]-2-nitropyridine (321 mg, 0.97 mmol) in a mixture of EtOH (2 mL) and 2M HCl (0.2 mL) at 0° C. The resulting solution was heated to 85° C. for 2 h. Celite (0.5 g) was added to the cooled reaction mixture. This mixture was filtered over a bed of celite and evaporated to give the title compound as a dark oil. MS (APCI) (M+H)+ 301.
