Procedure

To a solution of 3-nitro-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile (500 mg, 2.31 mmol) and acetic acid (6.62 mL, 116 mmol) in EtOH (10 mL) and water (10 mL) is added tin (II) chloride (2.61 g, 11.6 mmol) and the reaction mixture is heated at 80° C. for 6 h. The solvent is removed in vacuo and then the residue is portioned between DCM and 4 N HCl solution. The organic layer separated and then dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue is then separated via FCC (10-100% EtOAc/heptane) to give the compound as a yellow oil (213 mg, 49%). MS (ESI) m/z 185.3 (M+1).
