Reaction Steps

A solution of 0.4 mole of sodium hydroxide in 100 ml of water is added dropwise at 30° C. to a solution of 0.4 mole (45.4 g) of 2-aminoethanethiol hydrochloride and 0.4 mole (56.8 g) of methyl iodide in 100 ml of water. After a further hour of stirring at 40° C., 0.15 mole (21.2 g) of 4-fluoronitrobenzene and 42 ml of triethylamine are added.
