Reaction Steps

To a solution of ethyl 4-bromo-2-nitro-6-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl(2,4-dimethoxybenzyl)carbamate (1.204 g) in methanol (90 ml) was added titanium(III) chloride solution (20% wt) (31.5595 g) in an ice bath. The reaction mixture was stirred for 20 minutes at 0° C. To the reaction mixture were added saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and water, and the mixture was extracted 5 times with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound (1.1345 g, quantitative yield).
