Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 2-(isopropylsulfonyl)-4-methyl-1-nitrobenzene (Preparation Example 291) (7.41 g) and acetic acid (70 mL), iron powder (5.43 g) was added and stirred at 80° C. for 3 hours. Thereafter, insoluble materials in the reaction liquid were removed, and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. After addition of ethyl acetate (150 mL) and removal of insoluble materials, the residue was washed with water and saturated aqueous sodium chloride. After drying over anhydrous sodium sulfate, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue was washed with ethyl acetate-diisopropyl ether to give 2-(isopropylsulfonyl)-4-methylaniline (3.86 g) as a light yellow solid.
