Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of NaOH (80.18 g, 2.004 mol) in water (600 ml sonicated and degassed) was added 2-bromothiophenol (108.23 ml, 1.002 mol) and 2-chloro-5-nitro-benzenesulfinic acid (222.11 g, 1.002 mol). The mixture was stirred and heated at 125° C. for 19 hours. The reaction was cooled down at 0° C., and concentrated HCl added dropwise from a dropping funnel while stirring until pH<1. The precipitate formed was filtered, dried in a desiccators overnight and was used without any further purification (417.77 g). m/z (LC-MS, ESP), RT=3.51 min, (M−−1)=372-374, (1:1, bromine isotope ratio present).
