Participants

Reaction Steps

700 mg of (Z)-1-(3-nitro-4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl) ethene were dissolved in 35 ml of acetic acid, and 7 g of zinc were added thereto and stirred for one hour. The reaction liquid was filtered, concentrated and purified by silica gel column chromatography (dichloromethane:hexane=2:1 by volume) to obtain 314 mg of the intended compound. The yield was 49.3%.
