Reaction Steps

Dry gaseous hydrogen chloride is introduced into 1.2 g (0.0038 moles) of 2,4,6-trinitro-N-(2-thiocyanatoethyl)-aniline in 120 ml of anhydrous ethanol for 5 hours, while the mixture is heated under reflux. The solvent is distilled off, the residue is boiled with 30 ml of ethyl acetate for 10 minutes, then the warm mixture is filtered. The insoluble matter is shaken with 30 ml of ethyl acetate and 20 ml of 10 percent aqueous sodium carbonate solution. The phases are separated, and the aqueous solution is extracted twice with 10 ml of ethyl acetate each time. The organic phases are combined, dried over anhydrous magnesium carbonate and evaporated. In this way 0.084 g (7%) of the title compound are obtained. M.p.: 160°-162° C. (ethyl acetate).
