Procedure

To a solution of methyl 4-(3′-methoxy-4′-nitro-1,1′-biphenyl-4-yl)-2,2-dimethyl-4-oxobutanoate (670 mg, 1.80 mmol) in 85% aqueous ethanol (27 mL) was added iron powder (1.01 g, 18.04 mmol) and 2 N aqueous HCl (0.9 mL, 1.8 mmol), and the resulting suspension was heated at reflux for 2.5 h. The mixture was then cooled to rt, and filtered through a pad of Celite®. Water was added, the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate, and the combined organic phases were dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residue was triturated with ethyl acetate/hexane to afford methyl 4-(4′-amino-3′-methoxy-1,1′-biphenyl-4-yl)-2,2-dimethyl-4-oxobutanoate (410 mg, 67%). LC-MS ret. time 2.58 min, m/z 342.1 (MH+); 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 1.31 (s, 6H), 3.28 (s, 2H), 3.66 (s, 3H), 3.90 (s, 3H), 6.75 (d, 1H), 7.02-7.09 (m, 2H), 7.59 (d, 2H), 7.94 (d, 2H).
