Sodium Methoxide → 2-Fluoro-4-iodoaniline

To a solution of (3-allyloxy-5,6-difluoro-2-nitro-phenyl)-(2-fluoro-4-iodo-phenyl)-amine (Intermediate 7, 1.0 g, 2.22 mmol) in THF (8 mL) was drop wise added NaOMe solution [prepared by dissolving Na metal (51 mg, 2.2 mmol) in methanol (5 mL)] at −78° C. After complete addition, the reaction mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 16 h. The progress of reaction was monitored by TLC. After completion, reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in water and extracted with ethyl acetate (20 mL×3). The combined organic layer was washed with water (20 mL×2), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated to yield 3-allyloxy-6-fluoro-5-methoxy-2-nitro-phenyl)-(2-fluoro-4-iodo-phenyl)-amine (820 mg). A suspension of (3-allyloxy-6-fluoro-5-methoxy-2-nitro-phenyl)-(2-fluoro-4-iodo-phenyl)-amine (800 mg, 1.73 mmol) in ethanol (10 mL) was stirred at 70° C. to obtain a clear solution. To this hot solution, a freshly prepared solution of Na2S2O4 (900 mg, 5.2 mmol) in water (1.8 mL) was added drop wise and stirred the reaction mixture at 90° C. for 1 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate, washed with water and brine. The combined organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated to yield 6-allyloxy-3-fluoro-N2-(2-fluoro-4-iodo-phenyl)-4-methoxy-benzene-1,2-diamine (720 mg). 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ3.74 (2H, bs), 3.83 (3H, s), 4.56 (2H, d, J=5.6), 5.32 (1H, d, J=10.8), 5.40-5.45 (2H, m), 6.04-6.09 (1H, m), 6.24 (1H, t), 6.52 (1H, d, J=7.6), 7.21 (1H, d, J=8.4), 7.36 (1H, d, J=10.4).
