Reaction Steps

Compound 2 is synthesized in two steps from 1-(5-methyl-2-nitrophenyl) ethanone (1), which can be obtained as described by Doppler et al. (1979) Helv. Chem. Acta 62:291-303. Specifically, the ring methyl group is brominated using N-bromosuccinimide and then the benzylic ketone is reduced to an alcohol. Those procedures are described below.
