Reaction Steps

170 ml (103 mmol; 3 equivalents) of a freshly prepared 20% aqueous solution of potassium ferricyanide is added to 10.3 g (33.3 mmol) of N-(3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-2,6-difluorobenzenecarbothioamide dissolved in 150 ml of a 1.5M soda solution. The reaction medium is maintained under stirring at ambient temperature for 24 hours, then the beige precipitate formed is filtered, washed with water and dried (6.8 g; yield=66%). The mother liquors can be extracted by 3 times 75 ml of dichloromethane, then the organic phases are washed with a saturated solution of sodium chloride. After concentration under reduced pressure, the residue obtained can be purified on a silica column (eluent: ethyl acetate/heptane: 1/3) in order to provide another 2 g of expected product (overall yield=86%). Melting point: 136-138° C.
