Hydrochloric Acid → 4-(3-Amino-phenylsulfanyl)-N-(3-bromo-phenyl)-3-nitro-benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of N-(3-Bromo-phenyl)-4-chloro-3-nitro-benzamide (from Example 26A) (2.13 g, 6.0 mmol), 3-aminothiophenol (0.75 g, 6.0 mmol) and cesium carbonate (4.0 g, 12.0 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (20 mL) was heated to 95° C. for 3 hours. After cooling to room temperature the mixture was poured into ice water (100 mL) and the resultant solution adjusted to pH 6 with 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid. The solution was then extracted with ethyl acetate (3×50 mL), the combined extracts dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under vacuum to provide the title compound (2.87 g, 99%).
