The reaction mix was stirred until no further gas evolution occurred (circa 20 minutes). To this solution was added 15.76 g of 4-chloronitrobenzene dissolved in 100 ml of dry DMF, after which the mixture was heated to 120° C. for one hour. The reaction mix became red in colour during this time. The mixture was then cooled to room temperature and poured over 1000 g of crushed ice. The resulting yellow solid was filtered, washed several times with water, and dried to afford 25.29 g (96%) of 4-(4-methoxy-phenylsulfanyl)-nitrobenzene as a yellow solid. MS M+H; 264.
