Reaktionsschritte

4-Aminosalicylic acid (15.0 g, 98 mmol) and hydrobromic acid (47%, 100 ml) were mixed with water (100 ml). A solution of sodium nitrite (6.8 g, 98 mmol) in water (50 ml) was added dropwise to the mixture at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 30 minutes. A mixture of cuprous bromide (16.9 g, 117 mmol) and hydrobromic acid (47%, 45 ml) was added dropwise to the mixture at 0° C., and the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 1 hr. The reaction mixture was combined with ethyl acetate and extracted. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated to give the titled compound (15.5 g, 73%) as a gray solid.
