Reaction Steps

A mixture of 14.8 g 2-aminothiophenol, 21.6 g 4-hydroxy-3-nitrobenzoic acid, 18 g phosphorus pentoxide and 180 g methanesulfonic acid was heated at 90° C. for 10 hours. The reaction mixture was brought to pH 5 byaddition of sodium bicarbonate and sodium hydroxide solutions, and the solid product collected. The latter was recrystallized first from ethyl acetate and then from acetonitrile to give 6.5 g of the above-indicated product, orange-brown needles, m.p. 214°-215° C.
