Reaction Steps

To 3-nitro-N-phenylbenzenesulfonamide (255.5 mg, 0.919 mmol) in 4 mL of THF is added SnCl2 dihydrate (1.015 g, 4.486 mmol). The resulting mixture is heated in a microwave reactor at a power of 75 Watts and 135° C. for 1 min then at 15 Watts and 135° C. for 14 min. The reaction is cooled to room temperature, diluted with EtOAc (20 mL), washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (10 mL) and allowed to stir for about 12 hours. The reaction mixture is then extracted with EtOAc (75 mL). The organic layer is washed with H2O (75 mL), saturated aqueous NaCl (2×75 mL), dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo to yield a yellow residue. This residue is purified over silica (0-4% MeOH in CH2Cl2) to afford 178 mg (78% yield) of the desired compound. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 300 MHz): δ 5.57 (s, 2H), 6.69 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 6.84 (d, J=7.5 Hz, 1H), 6.95 (s, 1H), 6.99 (t, J=7.5 Hz, 1H), 7.07 (d, J=8.1 Hz, 2H), 7.12 (t, J=8.1 Hz, 1H), 7.21 (t, J=8.1 Hz, 2H), 10.12 (s, 1H). MS (ESI, pos. ion) m/z: 249 (M+1).
