Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of methyl 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzoate (1 g, 4.65 mmol) in EtOH (13 ml) was added to a solution of benzylmercaptan (0.65 ml, 5.53 mmol), Na2CO3 (0.64 g, 6.1 mmol) and water (3 ml) and the reaction was heated under reflux for 4 h. After cooling, the mixture was diluted with water. The resulting precipitate was collected by filtration, washed with n-hexane and dried to give the title compound (2.5 g, 88%). The structure was confirmed by 1H NMR.
