A solution of (Z)-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)-2-nitroethene (33.85 g) in 1,4-dioxane (315 ml) was added dropwise to an efficiently stirred suspension of sodium borohydride (15.77 g) in a mixture of 1,4-dioxane (315 ml) and ethanol (98 ml) over a period of 0.5 hour while maintaining a temperature of 30° C. After stirring for 2 hours, the resultant slurry was diluted with ice water (393 ml) and the excess sodium borohydride was decomposed with 50% aqueous acetic acid (47.4 ml). To the solution, sodium chloride (68 g) and ethyl acetate were added. The organic layer was separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified by distillation under reduced pressure to give 1-methoxy-3-(2-nitroethyl)benzene (23.62 g).
