Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

7.7 ml of glacial acetic acid (0.135 moles) are added to a solution of 30 g of 2-nitro-5-(3-difluoromethoxyphenylthio)-p-xylene (0.092 moles) in H2O (40 ml) and ethanol (400 ml); 34.7 g of Fe in powder form (0.621 moles) are carefully added to the reaction mixture kept under stirring at 60° C. The temperature is brought to 90° C. and the mixture is kept under stirring for 1.5 hours. When the reaction is completed (GC and TLC analyses), the mixture is cooled to room temperature; the solid is filtered on a celite bed. The ethanol is concentrated at reduced pressure. The crude product obtained is washed with a saturated solution of sodium bicarbonate and extracted with ethyl acetate.
