Title: What happens in this reaction?
Post by: sharbeldam on August 04, 2020, 06:08:18 PM

SnCl2 reduces the nitro group into NH2.

I tried  doing the retro diels alder after but it doesnt get to the pyridine ring.
Please anyone? how do we get to the product?

Did you isolate and characterize any compound obtained in this reaction?
Do you know the proposed mechanism for this reaction?

When confronted with a problem like this, I sometimes count carbon atoms and assign oxidation numbers.
