Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-aminothiophenol (8.3 g) in methylene chloride at 0° C. is added methyl chloroacetimidate hydrochloride1 (8.6 g). The reaction is allowed to warm to room temperature while stirring overnight. The mixture is washed with water (3X); dried over MgSO4 and concentrated to an oil. The oil is distilled (120°-135° C. at 0.5 mm Hg) to give 7.8 g (71% yield) of product.
