Reaction Steps

72.8 g of 2-(4-methylbenzenesulfonylamino)-5-methoxynitrobenzene, prepared in A), are added to 56.5 ml of 4N sodium hydroxide solution and 29.2 g of 4-chlorobenzyl chloride. The mixture is refluxed for 4 hours, a further 43.7 g of 4-chlorobenzyl chloride are then added and the resulting mixture is refluxed for another 45 minutes. After cooling, 12.2 ml of 35% sodium hydroxide solution are added to the reaction mixture, the latter is refluxed for three hours 45 minutes and then cooled and water and ether are added. The insoluble material is filtered off and washed with water and ether to give 98 g of N-(4-chlorobenzyl)-N-(4-methylbenzenesulfonyl)-2-nitro-4-methoxyaniline in the form of crystals melting at 124° C. Evaporation of the ether phase yields an additional 10 g of crystals melting at 124° C.
