Water → N-[3-(3-Formyl-4-nitro-phenylsulfanyl)-phenyl]-benzenesulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of N-[3-(3-dimethoxymethyl-4-nitro-phenylsulfanyl)-phenyl]-benzenesulfonamide (0.027 mol) in 12 N HCl (25 mL), THF (75 mL), and water (50 mL) was stirred overnight at room temperature, and then the mixture was extracted with EtOAc. The extract was washed with H2O and then with a saturated Na2CO3 solution. The solvent was evaporated, and the residue was purified by column chromatography over silica gel (eluent: CH2Cl2). The product fractions were collected and the solvent was evaporated to yield the title compound as a residue.
