Procedure

To a solution of 4-nitrobenzyl bromide (10.02 g, 46.4 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (25 mL) was added sodium methanesulfinate (7.10 g, 69.6 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 65° C. for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was cooled to ambient temperature and diluted with water. The resulting suspension was stirred for 10 minutes and filtered through a medium frit to provide the title compound.
