Reaction Steps

A solution of 480 g of 2-chloro-5-nitro-benzaldehyde in 3.2 litres of ethanol is treated dropwise under a nitrogen atmosphere at 30°-40° C with stirring within 4 hours with a solution of 320 g of thiophenol in 120 g of sodium hydroxide, 2 litres of ethanol and 440 ml of water. The mixture is stirred for a further 30 minutes at 60° C, then cooled to 0° C and filtered. There is obtained crude crystalline 3-nitro-6-(phenylthio)-benzaldehyde of melting point 96°-100° C.
