Reaction Steps

A solution of 1.0 g (5.02 mmol) of 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan in 20 mL AcOH, 10 mL EtOAc and 2 mL H2O was heated at 50° C. and treated with iron powder (1.4 g, 251 mmol). The mixture was heated at 80° C. for 30 min and then allowed to cool to rt. The mixture was filtered through Celite eluting with EtOAc. The filtrate was washed with sat. aq. NaHCO3, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give compound 258A (0.80 g, 94%) as a red solid.
