Procedure

A mixture of 500 mg of 2-nitro-4-trifluoromethylbenzaldehyde, 349 mg of 2-(ethylsulfanyl)aniline and 4 ml of toluene was refluxed for 4 hours and then concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was washed with t-butyl methyl ether to obtain 777 mg of (2-ethylsulfanylphenyl) (2-nitro-4-trifluoromethylbenzylidene)amine.
