Reaktionsschritte

The solution prepared in Step A (195 g, 475 mmol) was diluted with acetonitrile (50 mL), and heated to 50° C. Then a solution of sulfuryl chloride (70.6 g, 523 mmol) in acetonitrile (100 mL) was added over 3.25 h at 50-55° C. Immediately after completion of the addition, the mixture was cooled to 5° C., water (150 g) was added, and the pH of the solution was adjusted to 6.0 by slow addition of 50% aqueous sodium hydroxide (103 g). After stirring for 10 minutes at this temperature, the organic layer was separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with acetonitrile (50 mL). The organic layers were combined, dried (MgSO4), and partially evaporated to a weight of 193.7 g. Quantitative HPLC of this solution showed 41.5 wt % of the title compound (80.4 g, 84.8% yield).
