Participants

Reaction Steps

To an ice bath cooled solution (0° C.) of 4-chloro-2-nitro-5-m-tolylsulfanyl-phenylamine (2.30 g, 7.80 mmol), ammonium chloride (6.26 g, 117 mmol), acetone (32.5 mL), and water (6.5 mL) was added portion-wise zinc powder (5.10 g, 78.0 mmol). The reaction mixture was removed from the ice bath and after 30 min, the reaction mixture was filtered through a pad of Celite® and washed with EtOAc. The filtrate was placed in a sep funnel and the organic layer was collected. The organic layers dried, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude material was used without further purification in the next reaction.
