1-(2-Chloro-5-nitrophenyl)ethan-1-one → 1-(5-amino-2-chlorophenyl)ethanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

Procedure A was performed with 2′-chloro-5′-nitro-acetophenone (0.22 g, 1.1 mmol) and iron powder (0.64 g, 11 mmol). The crude product was purified by flash column chromatography on silica gel eluting with EtOAc:hexanes (0:1 to 1:0) to afford the desired 2′-chloro-5′-amino-acetophenone.
