Participants

Reaction Steps

508 mg (9.5 mmol, 2 eq) of ammonium chloride, followed by 2.23 g (34.2 mmol, 7.2 eq) of zinc powder, are added to a solution of 1.68 g (4.75 mmol, 1 eq) of 1,5-bis(benzyloxy)-2-fluoro-4-nitrobenzene in 50 ml of water. The reaction medium is refluxed for 4 hours. The cooled reaction medium is extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phases are combined, washed with a saturated solution of sodium chloride, dried over magnesium sulphate, filtered and evaporated. The residue is chromatographed on silica gel, elution being carried out with 85/15 heptane/ethyl acetate.
