Sodium borohydride (0.127 g; 3.35 mmol) was added in portions to a cold suspension (ice:water temperature) of [2-(4-cyanophenyl)ethoxy]-4-methyl-3-nitrobenzene (0.19 g; 0.67 mmol; from step (i) above) and aqueous copper sulfate (1.34 mL; 1M; 1.34 mmol) in EtOH (5 mL) over five minutes. The temperature was allowed to rise to ambient and the stirring continued for 30 minutes. Addition of EtOAc (50 mL) and filtration through Celite afforded a clear solution that was washed with water, dried (K3CO3) and concentrated in vacuo. Flash chromatography (SiO2; toluene:EtOAc (10:1)) afforded 0.044 g (26%) of the sub-title compound as a white solid.
