A mixture of 1-[2-(2-Chloro-ethoxy)-6-nitro-phenylmethanesulfonyl]-naphthalene (0.9 g, 2.24 mmoles) and 10% Pd/C in THF (10 mL), methanol (10 mL), and formic acid (2 mL) was hydrogenated in a Parr hydrogenation bottle (250 mL) at 40 lb/in2 for 20 hours. The mixture was filtered through Celite, and the filtrate was diluted with EtOAc, washed with water, dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated under vacuum to afford the title compound as an off-white solid (0.78 g, 2.1 mmoles).
