Reaction Steps

5.85 G. 1-amino-2-nitro-4-thiocyanatobenzene is treated in 20 ml. dimethylformamide under nitrogen at 20°-25° C. with 1.14 g. sodium borohydride. After 1 hour 10 ml. of methylthiomethylchloride is added and the mixture stirred overnight, diluted with water and extracted with chloroform. The dried chloroform solution is passed through a silica gel column, then evaporated to dryness leaving 1-amino-2-nitro-4-methylthiomethylthiobenzene as a red solid.
