Sodium Carbonate → 1-(2-Fluoro-phenylsulfanyl)-4-methyl-2-nitro-benzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

The product from Example 4a (1.50 g, 5.3 mmol) and 2-fluorobenzenethiol (0.56 mL, 5.3 mmol) in EtOH (15 mL) was added aqueous Na2CO3 solution (0.563 g, 5.3 mmol) dropwise at room temperature. The mixture was heated to reflux fluxed for 1 hour, and then evaporated. The residue was diluted with EtOAc, washed with H2O, 5% KOH and brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated under vacuum giving the title compound as yellow crystal, which was purified by washing with cold n-hexane to give the title product as yellow crystal (1.15 g, 83%).
