Dinitrofluorobenzene → HCID 2801602, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred mixture of 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene, 5.69 ml (45 mmol) and potassium carbonate 6.3 g (45 mmol) in acetone was added benzenethiol 4.65 ml (45 mmol). The mixture was heated to reflux for 2 hours, cooled and the solvent removed under reduced pressure. The residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was washed with saturated potassium carbonate, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and the solvent removed under reduced pressure to give 7.0 g (56%) of 2,4-dinitrophenyl phenyl sulfide.
