Reaction Steps

A solution of 3.4 g. of 2-nitro-5-mercaptoaniline in 20 ml. of dimethylformamide is treated with 0.5 g. of 100% sodium hydride. After 1 hour, 2.2 g. of chloromethyl ethyl ether is added. After a further hour, the solution is diluted with water and extracted with chloroform. Removal of the solvent leaves 2-nitro-5-(ethoxymethylthio)aniline.
