Benzenesulfonyl chloride, 4-chloro-3-nitro- → 3-amino-4-chlorobenzenethiol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of concentrated hydrochloric acid (30 mL) and ice (25 g) was added tin (29.7 g) under ice-cooling, followed by adding 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride (6.4 g), and the mixture was stirred under ice-cooling for 1.5 hours, and then stirred at 90° C. for 2 hours. The insoluble material was removed by filtration, and the filtrate was stirred at room temperature overnight. The precipitated crystals were collected by filtration. The collected crystals were washed with water, and dried under reduced pressure to give the title compound (2.95 g).
