Procedure

T a slurry of 5-nitro-2-chloro-benzaldehyde (1.5 g, 0.0078 mol), 2-aminoethanethiol hydrochloride (2.73 g, 0.023 mol), sodium cyanoborohydride (0.49 g, 0.0078 mol) in anhydrous methanol (30 mL) was added acetic acid (5 mL) and stirred 24 hrs. The mixture was evaporated and the residue triturated with isopropanol giving 2-(2-chloro-5-nitro-benzylamino)-ethanethiol hydrochloride (0.87 g, 45%) as a white solid. MP: 228-231° C.; 1H-NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 9.76-82 (br, 2H), 8.75 (s, 1H), 8.28-31 (d, 1H), 7.85-90 (d, 1H), 4.40 (s, 2H), 3.15-25 (m, 2H), 2.80-90 (m, 2H); LC/MS (ESI+): 247 (M+H).
