Participants

Reaction Steps

Boron tribromide (1.24 g, 4.925 mmol) was added to a cooled mixture of 4-chloro-1-(4-methoxy-butyl)-2-nitro-benzene (0.2 g, 0.995 mmol) in dichloromethane (10 mL) and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate and the organic extracts were dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure to give 80 mg of 4-(4-chloro-2-nitro-phenyl)-butan-1-ol as an oil without further purifications.
