Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-dimethylcarbamoyl-4-methoxy-5-methylnitrobenzene (1.10 g) in benzene (11 ml) is added phosphorus pentasulfide (3.08 g), and the resultant mixture is refluxed for 1 hour. After sooling, the reaction mixture is mixed with icy water and shaken with ether. The organic layer is washed with water, dried over Glauber's salt and concentrated under reduced pressure to remove the solvent. The residue is chromatographed on a column of silica gel, which is eluted with benzene, methylene chloride and then methylene chloride/2% methanol in order. The eluted fractions are concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue is washed with isopropyl ether to give 3-dimethylthiocarbamoyl-4-methoxy-5-methyl-nitrobenzene (1.0 g) as crystals melting at 138°-139° C.
