2,4-Dinitrobenzenesulfenyl chloride → Sulfide, bis(2,4-dinitrophenyl)

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 1.38 g. of 3-butenyltributyltin was added 0.936 g. of 2,4-dinitrobenzene sulfenyl chloride in 20 ml. glacial acetic acid at steam bath temperature. The reaction mixture was warned on the steam bath for 20 minutes, poured into ice water and filtered. The mixture was extracted with pentane, dried and recrystallized from ethanol to yield cyclopropylcarbinyl 2,4-dinitrophenyl sulfide; m.p. 80°-81° C. Analysis for C and H confirmed the composition of the reaction product.
