Procedure
2.4 G. of 1-acetamido-2-nitro-4-benzylthiobenzene is treated with 2.4 g. iron powder and 1.2 g. ferrous sulfate in a mixture of 60 ml. water and 240 ml. methanol, at reflux for 4 hours. The mixture is then filtered, the filtrate concentrated and the residue recrystallized from benzene. Pure 1-acetamido-2-amino-4-benzylthiobenzene is obtained.
