Following the procedure of Gewald et al., J. Prakt. Chem., vol. 35 (1967), pp. 97-104, sodium (188 mg, 8.20 mmol) was carefully dissolved in methanol (9 mL) at 0° C. and allowed to warm to ambient temperature. The resultant solution was added portionwise to a mixture of cyanamide (345 mg, 8.20 mmol) and phenyl isothiocyanate (0.98 mL, 8.2 mmol), whereupon heat evolved. 2-Bromo-3′-nitroacetophenone (2.00 g, 8.2 mmol) was added, and the resultant mixture stirred overnight at ambient temperature. The mixture was diluted with water (150 mL). A yellow-brown solid was filtered off, rinsed with water and a small amount of ether, dried under vacuum, and recrystallized from ethanol to give 2.17 g (52% yield) of the title compound in the form of dark brown crystals, melting point (mp) 186-187° C.
