Reaction Steps

N-(4-Benzyloxy-phenyl)-4-chloro-3-nitro-thiobenzamide (2 g, 5 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (100 ml). Sodium hydroxide (1.6 g in 5 ml water) was added followed by Triton B (2.1 ml, 5 mmol, commercially available). The mixture was cooled in an ice-bath. Potassium ferri(III)cyanide (13.2 g in 50 ml water) was added drop wise with vigorous stirring. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm up overnight and was further warmed to 130° C. for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was cooled and extracted with ethyl acetate/water. The organic phase dried and the solvent removed under reduced pressure. The product, compound was purified by flash chromatography with Hexane/Ethyl acetate as eluent.
