Reaction Steps

4-(4-Cyclopentyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzyloxy)aniline hydrochloride (30 g, 81 mmol) was suspended in water (285 mL), and concentrated HCl (18 mL) was added. The suspension was stirred efficiently and cooled in ice/IPA bath to −0° C. Sodium nitrite (5.57 g, 81 mmol) in water (12 mL) was added. After addition, the reaction was stirred at 2° C. for 40 minutes. Some solids on the side were washed with ACN (10 mL). The mixture was cooled to −1° C. and tin (II)chloride (45.9 g, 242 mmol) dissolved in concentrated HCl (30 mL) was added slowly. A thick precipitate was formed and stirring was continued for 30 minutes. The mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 3 h. The mixture was filtered, washed with HCl (0.1 M) and the solid was dried under vacuum to give the title compound (40.6 g).
