Reaction Steps

Iron (Fe) (124.7 mmole, 6.97 g) is added to a solution of N-(4-methoxy-2-nitrophenyl) phenylacetamide (18.5 mmole, 5.0 g) in acetic acid (130 ml). The mixture is refluxed for two hours and is stirred at room temperature for 48 hours. The solvent is evaporated. Recrystallisation from ethyl. acetate gives the title product as a light yellow solid.
