Procedure: 100 ml of 90% v/v aqueous acetic acid were added to 7.4 g of 1-(2-fluorophenyl)-2-nitro-1-butene [prepared as described in step (a) above], and then 12.11 g (190 mmole) of a zinc powder were added in portions to the resulting solution, whilst heating. The mixture was then heated under reflux, whilst stirring, for 4 hours. At the end of this time, the reaction mixture was left to stand overnight, and then the crystals which had precipitated were filtered off and washed with toluene. The filtrate was combined with the toluene washings, and the mixture was concentrated by evaporation under reduced pressure. The residue thus obtained was subjected to silica gel column chromatography, using toluene as the eluent, to give 1.85 g of the title compound as a pale brown oil. whilst heating The mixture was then heated under reflux At the end of this time, the reaction mixture was left to stand overnight the crystals which had precipitated were filtered off washed with toluene the mixture was concentrated by evaporation under reduced pressure The residue thus obtained

Procedure: 1-(2-Fluorophenyl)-2-nitro-1-butene 30 ml of acetic acid were added to 4.73 g (38.11 mmole) of 2-fluorobenzaldehyde, 4.41 g (49.49 mmole) of nitropropane and 3.23 g (41.90 mmole) of ammonium acetate, and the resulting mixture was heated under reflux, whilst stirring, for 4 hours. At the end of this time, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, neutralized with an aqueous solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate and extracted with diethyl ether. The extract was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and then xylene was added to the solution. The mixture was concentrated by evaporation under reduced pressure, to give 7.4 g of the title compound as a pale yellow oil. the resulting mixture was heated under reflux extracted with diethyl ether The extract was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate xylene was added to the solution The mixture was concentrated by evaporation under reduced pressure
