Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3.0 g. of 1-acetamido-2-nitro-4-n-propylthiobenzene in 30 ml. chloroform is cooled to -15° C. and treated with a solution of 2.5 g. of 40% peracetic acid in 4 ml. methanol. After the addition the temperature is allowed to rise slowly to 20° C whereupon the solution is washed with sodium bisulfite solution and then with sodium bicarbonate solution. The product is isolated by evaporation of the solvent and purified by treatment with ether to afford 1-acetamido2-nitro-4-n-propylsulfinylbenzene.
