Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-bromo-2-cyclopropylmethoxy-5-nitro-pyridine (600 mg, 2.19 mmol) in methanol (30 ml) were added water (15 ml), zinc dust (1 g, 15.37 mmol) and ammonium chloride (1.28 g, 24.09 mmol) at 25° C., and the reaction mixture was stirred for 45 min at 25° C. After total consumption of starting material (monitored by TLC), the reaction mixture was filtered through a bed of celite, and the filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure to get the crude residue. The residue was dissolved in dichloromethane and washed with water and brine. The organic part was dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated to get the compound (507 mg, 95%). This compound was used in next step without further purification. MS (LC/MS): 244.0 (M+H).
