Participants

Reaction Steps

20.09 g (80 mmols) of 3,5-dinitrophthalic acid N-methylimide [prepared according to Example 2] are initially introduced into 300 ml of ethyl acetate and treated with 33.6 g (243 mmols) of ground, anhydrous potassium carbonate, and 15.04 g (84 mmols) of 3,4-dichlorothiophenol are then added dropwise at 25° C. After the addition of 100 ml of tetrahydrofuran, the mixture is stirred overnight and evaporated to dryness and the residue is taken up in a mixture of methylene chloride and dilute hydrochloric acid. The organic phase is washed with saturated NaCl solution, dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated. After recrystallisation from methylene chloride/n-pentane, 25.74 g (84% of theory) of the title imide, with a melting point of 167°-8° C., are obtained.
