Participants

Reaction Steps

At 5° C., 7.2 g of methyl mercaptan is passed over a period of 20 minutes into a solution of 46 g of 4-nitro-2-trichloromethylbenzenesulfenyl chloride in 750 ml of diethyl ether. The reaction mixture is kept at 5° to 10° C. for 2 hours. After the solvent has been distilled off, the residue is recrystallized from ligroin. There is obtained 42 g (88% of theory) of methyldithio-4-nitro-2-trichloromethylbenzene; m.p.: 76° C.
