Procedure
Add zinc (21.6 g, 331 mmol) slowly to a solution of 1-[2-hydroxy-4-(3-nitro-benzyloxy)-3-propyl-phenyl]-ethanone (10.9 g, 6.07 mmol) in glacial acetic acid (120 mL). Stir the mixture for 3 hours. Dilute with dichloromethane (600 mL). Filter the reaction mixture through celite. Wash the celite pad several times with dichloromethane. Concentrate the combined filtrates. Partition the residue between ethyl acetate and saturated sodium bicarbonate. Wash the organic layer with brine, dry and concentrate to afford the title compound as a yellow solid (9.75 g, 98%): 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 0.96 (t, 3H), 1.58 (sextet, 2H), 2.54 (s, 3H), 2.71 (t, 2H), 5.07 (s, 2H), 6.46 (d, 1H), 6.62 (d, 1H), 6.71 (s, 1H), 6.78 (d, 1H), 7.16 (t, 1H), 7.54 (d, 1H), 12.75 (s, 1H).
