Reaction Steps

A solution of 3.4 g of 2-nitro-5-mercaptoaniline in 20 ml. of DMF is treated with 0.5 g. of 100% sodium hydride, and 2.2 g. of chloromethyl-ethyl ether is added to the solution. After 30 minutes at 20-25° C, the solution is diluted with water and extracted with chloroform. Removal of the chloroform leaves 2-nitro-5-(ethoxymethylthio) aniline as an oil.
