Reaction Steps

A mixture of N-(3-methyl-5-nitro-phenyl)-methylsulfonamide (0.12 g; 0.4 mmol), ammonium formate (0.26 g; 4 mmol) and Raney-Nickel in 1 mL dioxane was heated at 120° C. in a microwave oven for 20 minutes. The mixture was then filtrated on a celite pad and concentrated. 70 mg (0.35 mmol; 87% yield) of a red oil were obtained.
