(5-Allyloxy-2-nitro-phenyl)-(4-isopropyl-phenyl)-methanone → (5-Allyloxy-2-amino-phenyl)-(4-isopropyl-phenyl)-methanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

To an ice chilled solution of 16 g (5-allyloxy-2-nitro-phenyl)-(4-isopropyl-phenyl)-methanone in 65 ml acetic acid are added 21.8 g iron powder. A precipitate that is formed is brought into solution by addition of additional acetic acid. After stirring for 16 h at r.t. the reaction mixture is filtered and basified by addition of aqueous potassium hydroxide solution. Extraction with dichloromethane yields (5-allyloxy-2-amino-phenyl)-(4-isopropyl-phenyl)-methanone.
