p-Toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate → N,2,2-trimethyl-6-nitro-2H-1-benzopyran-4-carbothioamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7.0 g of N,2,2-trimethyl-3,4-dihydro-3-hydroxy-6-nitro-2H-1-benzopyran-4-carbothioamide, 3.0 g of p-toluenesulfonic acid monohydrate, and 300 ml of toluene was heated at reflux for 1 hour. The solvent was removed from the reaction mixture by distillation, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (developing solution: CH2Cl2). Recrystallizatlon from a mixed solvent of CH2Cl2, diethyl ether, and hexane gave 3.25 g of N,2,2-trimethyl-6-nitro-2H-1-benzopyran-4-carbothioamide represented by formula shown below.
