The reactions of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene with alkanethiols in the presence of K2CO3 (the molar ratio of the reactants is 1: 1: 1) in dipolar aprotic solvents result in selective replacement of the ortho-nitro group to form 2-alkylthio-4,6-dinitrotoluenes, which can be oxidized to the corresponding sulfoxides of sulfones. The 2nd ortho-nitro group can be replaced under the action of one more equivalent of alkanethiol on sulfides as exemplified in PhCH2SH.
