Reaction Steps

A solution of N-benzyl-5-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-4-nitro-2-(trifluoromethyl)aniline (190 mg; 0.52 mmol; 1 eq) and tin chloride dihydrate (591 mg; 2.62 mmol; 5 eq) in ethanol (2 ml) is stirred under argon at 80° C. for 4 h. Concentration, partition (ethyl acetate/aqueous sodium hydrogenocarbonate), addition of solid sodium hydrogenocarbonate to adjust the pH around 8, filtration over Celite, extraction of the cake solid with ethyl acetate, reunion of the organic phases, additional washings (aqueous ammonium chloride, brine), drying (magnesium sulfate) and concentration affords the title product (165 mg; 0.50 mmol; 96%) as a yellow solid.
