Ethylamine → N-ethyl-3-(2,4-difluorophenylthio)4-nitrobenzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-(2,4-difluorophenylthio)-4nitrobenzoyl chloride (1 g) in tetrahydrofuran (3 ml) was added to a stirred solution of 70% ethylamine (0.5 ml) in water (5 ml) at 5° to 10° C. The mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 1 hour and at room temperature for 1 hour. Water (30 ml) was added to the reaction mixture. The precipitates were filtered, washed with water, and dried under reduced pressure to give a yellow powder of N-ethyl-3-(2,4-difluorophenylthio)-4-nitrobenzamide (0.94 g).
