Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of Stannous chloride dihydrate (194.6 g, 0.86 mol) in concentrated HCl (80.0 mL) was added to 3,5-dichloro-4-(4′-methoxy-3-sec-butyl-phenoxy)nitrobenzene (80 g, 0.21 mol) in EtOH (400 mL). The reaction mixture was refluxed for about 2 h. The resulting mixture was brought at 20-30° C. and diluted with ethyl acetate. The mixture was made alkaline with ammonia solution. Resulting solid was filtered through cellite. The organic phase was washed with H2O, brine & dried over sodium sulphate, filtered and concentrated to give 4-(3-sec-Butyl-4-methoxy-phenoxy)-3,5-dichloro-phenylamine (71.8 g; 98% yield).
