Procedure

2-Methylsulfonyl-1-methyl-4-nitrobenzene (500 mg, 2.3 mmol) was dissolved in absolute ethanol (15 mL). Stannous chloride (2.6 g, 11.6 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at 75° C. for 4 hours. The mixture was poured into water (50 mL), pH was adjusted with a saturated solution of sodium carbonate to basic reaction, followed by addition of ethyl acetate (150 mL). The organic phase was extracted with water (2×50 mL), dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo to give 0.36 g of 3-methylsulfonyl-4-methylaniline as an oil.
