Reaction Steps

The mixture of powdered zinc (22.2 g), ammonium chloride (2.5 g), water (4 ml) and absolute ethanol (20 ml) were brought to reflux with the oil bath. The 4-nitro-N-(4-{[(4-nitrophenyl)amino]methyl}benzyl)aniline (3.4 g) was dissolved in 20 ml of NMP and introduced dropwise until there was decoloration of the reaction medium, while at the same time the reflux was maintained.
