Procedure

A 1 L three-neck round-bottom flask equipped with an addition funnel, mechanical stirrer, and thermocouple was charged with glacial acetic acid (110 mL) and sulfuric acid (110 mL) under nitrogen followed by dibenzothiophene-5,5-dioxide (50 g, 0.231 mol). The slurry was stirred and cooled to below 0° C. Fuming nitric acid, 90% (118 mL, 2.5 mol; specific gravity 1.5) was added dropwise over a period of 1.5 hours to keep the temperature below 4° C. The slurry was stirred for 30 minutes then poured onto 1.5 kg ice rinsing the flask with water. The product was collected by vacuum filtration, washed with water several times, and air dried followed by drying in a vacuum oven. The product was recrystallized from acetonitrile to give 51 g yellow crystals of 3-nitro-dibenzothiophene-5,5-dioxide (85% yield).
