Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 67040890, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzoic acid (2.00 g, 10.0 mmol), 4-aminothiophenol (10.0 mmol), and cesium carbonate (6.52 g, 20.0 mmol) in anhydrous N,N-dimethylformamide (10 mL) was heated at 90° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere for 2 hours. The reaction was cooled to room temperature and poured into 50 mL of ice water and ethyl acetate (100 mL). The mixture was stirred while adjusting the pH to 2 with concentrated hydrochloric acid. The layers were separated and the organic phase washed with water (2×50 mL) and brine (50 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated by rotary evaporation in vacuo. The residue was co-evaporated with methylene chloride/hexanes and the residue triturated with methylene chloride to provide the title compound as a dark yellow solid (2.115 g, 73%).
