Procedure

A mixture of 3,4-dinitroaniline (5.27 g, 28.8 mmol), methanesulfonyl chloride (3.36 mL, 43.1 mmol) and pyridine (5.82 mL, 71.9 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (100 mL) was stirred for 24 h. Mixture was concentrated under vacuum to provide a crude semi-solid title compound that was used without further purification.
