Reaction Steps

45.4 g (0.21 mol) of 2-chloro-3-nitrobenzoic acid methyl ester and 24.8 ml (0.21 mol) of benzyl mercaptan are dissolved in 420 ml of dimethylformamide, and then 29.2 g (0.21 mol) of potassium carbonate are added and the batch is stirred for 8 hours at 80° C. It is then poured onto ice/water and extracted twice with ethyl acetate. The extracts are washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated by evaporation.
