Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-(2-chloro-5-nitro-phenoxymethyl)-tetrahydrofuran (0.45 g, 1.75 mmol) in EtOAc (10 mL) was degassed with argon then charged with 10% by weight Pd/C (0.4 g). The mixture was stirred for 7 h under an H2 atmosphere, filtered through Celite® and concentrated in vacuo. A mixture contained the title compound along with starting material in a 7:3 ratio.
