Procedure

A mixture of 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzoic acid methyl ester (15.0 g, 68 mmol), 4-aminothiophenol (8.8 g, 68 mmol) and K2CO3 (11.8 g, 85 mmol) in DMF (150 mL) was heated at 90° C. for 1.5 hours, cooled to room temperature, and then poured into H2O (450 mL) under stirring. The aqueous mixture was extracted with AcOEt (400 mL). The extract was washed with H2O (3 times) and brine, dried over MgSO4, and evaporated to give the crude product as orange crystal. The crude product was suspended in 150 mL of i-Pr2O and stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The crystal was collected by filtration, washed with i-Pr2O and dried at 60° C. for 3 days under reduced pressure to give purified title compound as orange crystal (18.6 g, 90%).
