Reaction Steps

Similarly, the 3-amino-4-chloro-2-methylthiomethylbenzotrifluoride may be replaced with equivalent quantities of 3-amino-4-bromo-2-methylthiomethylbenzotrifluoride, 3-amino-4-iodo-2-methylthiomethylbenzotrifluoride, 3-amino-4-methyl-2-methylthiomethylbenzotrifluoride, 3-amino-4-ethylthio-2-methylthiobenzotrifluoride, 3-amino-4-n-propylthio-2-methylthiomethylbenzotrifluoride, 3-amino-4-n-butylthio-2-methylthiomethylbenzotrifluoride, 3-amino-4-heptylthio-2-methylthiomethylbenzotrifluoride, or 3-amino-4-octylthio-2-methylthiomethylbenzotrifluoride, and by following substantially the teachings of Step C of this example, there is produced 3-amino-2-methylbenzotrifluoride.
