Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-[(4-acetyl-3-hydroxyphenoxy)methyl]nitrobenzene (10.2 g) and iron powder (10.4 g) in ethanol (150 ml, saturated with anhydrous HCl) is stirred at room temperature for 15 hours. After removal of excess iron and concentration in vacuo, the residue is partitioned between dichloromethane and saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. The organic phase is filtered through a Florisil column with the aid of dichloromethane. Concentration gives 7.4 g of product (81% yield) m.p. 153°-154° C.
