Reaction Steps

(S)-2-(2-Chloro-5-nitro-phenoxymethyl)-pyrrolidine (3.42 g, 12.63 mmol) and SnCl2 (7.19 g, 37.9 mmol) in 45 mL EtOH were heated at 75° C. for 11 h. The reaction was treated with about 15 mL 1 N K2CO3 (aq) and stirred 40 min. The suspension was filtered through Celite and concentrated down to aqueous, which was then diluted with EtOAc and 1 N NaOH (aq). The layers were separated, and the organic layer was washed twice with 1 N NaOH and once with mix of brine and 1 N NaOH. The aqueous layers were extracted twice with fresh EtOAc. The combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated down to dryness to yield the title compound as a brown solid.
