2-[(4-nitrobenzyl)sulfanyl]pyridine (14.5 g) was dissolved in acetic acid (145 ml), reduced iron (43.5 g) was added to the solution, and then, the mixture was stirred for 20 hours at room temperature. The mixture was filtered by Celite, washed with ethyl acetate, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography, to give 4-[(2-pyridinylsulfanyl)methyl]aniline (4.9 g).
