Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of 2-amino-5-nitrobenzenethiol (Step 1, 29 g, 139.8 mmol) and potassium carbonate (115.93 g, 838.8 mmol) in dry DMF (150 mL) is added methyl bromoacetate (15.88 mL, 167.8 mmol). The reaction mixture is heated at 50° C. for 16 h at which time the reaction is quenched with ice and water (50 mL). The precipitate is filtered and dried under high vacuum to give the title compound as a yellow solid (21.69 g, 74%), MS m/z 211.5 (M+H)+.
