Reaction Steps

170.5 g of 3-nitro-6-(phenylthio)-benzyl alcohol are suspended in 54.5 ml of pyridine and 170 ml of chloroform and treated dropwise at a temperature below 20° C over a period of 30 minutes with a solution of 78 g of thionyl chloride in 55 ml of chloroform. The mixture is stirred for 30 minutes at 30° C and subsequently diluted with water. The organic phase is washed successively with water and aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution, dried over magnesium sulphate and concentrated. There is obtained crude 3-nitro-6-(phenylthio)-benzyl chloride of melting point 58°-60° C.
