Dimethylformamide → Methyl-(2-nitro-4-pentafluorosulfanyl-phenyl)-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 4-amino-3-nitro-phenyl sulfur pentafluoride (2.0 g), 60% sodium hydride (oil) (310 mg) and DMF (15 ml) was added dropwise iodomethane (447 μL) while ice-cooling. After that, the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. To the reaction mixture was poured water, and the precipitated solid was collected by filtration. The solid was washed with water and dried to give methyl-(2-nitro-4-pentafluorosulfanyl-phenyl)-amine (2.0 g).
