Procedure

To a solution of ethyl 4-(4′-nitro-1,1′-biphenyl-4-yl)-4-oxo-2-(2-phenylethyl)butanoate (5.35 g, 12.4 mmol) in 85% ethanol (160 mL) was added iron powder (6.94 g) followed by a 2 N aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid (6.2 mL). The resulting mixture was refluxed for 2.5 h, filtered through a pad of Celite®, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic extracts were dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford ethyl 4-(4′-amino-1,1′-biphenyl-4-yl)-4-oxo-2-(2-phenylethyl)butanoate (4.74 g, 95%). LC-MS ret. time 3.22 min, m/z 402.0 (MH+); 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 1.18 (t, 3H), 1.83-2.10 (m, 2H), 2.65 (t, 2H), 3.03-3.12 (m, 2H), 3.41-3.48 (m, 1H), 4.12 (q, 2H), 6.70 (d, 2H), 7.19 (d, 4H), 7.25 (m, 1H), 7.38 (d, 2H), 7.53 (d, 2H), 7.89 (d, 2H).
