Dimethylformamide → HCID 18977710, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of propane-2-thiol (1.5 mL), potassium carbonate (3 g) and N,N-dimethylformamide (20 mL), 4-chloro-2-fluoronitrobenzene (2.5 g) was added and stirred at room temperature for 5 hours. After addition of water, the reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate, and the extract was washed with water and saturated aqueous sodium chloride. After drying over anhydrous sodium sulfate, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to give 4-chloro-2-isopropylsulfanyl-1-nitrobenzene (3.30 g) as a yellow oil.
