Participants

Reaction Steps

5-(4-Acetylphenyl)-2-nitrothiophene-3-carboxamide (0.21 g, 0.723 mmol) was taken up in MeOH (4 mL), followed by the addition of sodium borohydride (0.027 g, 0.723 mmol). The reaction mixture stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. Water was added and the products extracted into EtOAc (2×). The combined organic extracts were washed with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound as a yellow solid.
