Participants

Reaction Steps

In a similar fashion using route 38 general procedure 92, 2-chloro-3-nitro-pyridine(2 g, 12.7 mmol), Na2CO3 (1.75 g, 16.6 mmol), benzylmercaptan (1.87 g, 15.1 mmol) and EtOH (20 ml) at 90° C. for 4 h gave the title compound (3 g, 96%) which was used in the next step without further purification. The structure was confirmed by 1H NMR.
