Participants

Reaction Steps

4-(3,4-Dinitrophenoxy)-6,7-dimethoxyquinoline (Step a, 0.256 g) was dissolved in THF (40 mL) and HOAc (1 mL) was added followed by zinc dust (1.3 g). Mixture was stirred at RT for 3 h and filtered through a Celite® pad. Solvent was evaporated and residue was washed with NaOH 1 M and extracted with EtOAc.
