A continuous-flow process for the preparation of m-nitrothioanisole has been set up. The starting material m-nitroaniline was diazotized to give diazonium chloride, followed by azo-coupling with sodium thiomethoxide to give 1-(methylthio)-2-(3-nitrophenyl)diazene, then dediazoniated to gain m-nitrothioanisole in high yield. The continuous-flow process minimized accumulation of the energetic intermediate diazonium salt and has a better capacity for adapting large-scale production. A solvent was introduced in the azo-coupling section to create a biphasic flow system. Side products were inhibited eminently in this flow process.
