Reaction Steps

1-Acetamido-2-nitro-4-phenoxybenzene is treated with 20 ml. methanol and 10 ml. 5 N aqueous sodium hydroxide at 20°-25° C for one hour. The mixture is diluted with water and the crude product filtered off. Recrystallization yields 1-amino-2-nitro-4-phenoxybenzene. This latter compound is treated in accordance with the first paragraph of Example VI to afford 1-(3-methoxycarbonyl-2-thioureido)-2-nitro-4-phenoxybenzene.
