Reaktionsschritte

4-Hydroxybenzenecarbothioamide (1.53 g, 10 mmol) and potassium hydroxide (1.50 g, 26.8 mmol) were dissolved in a mixture of 60 ml of water and 15 ml of methanol. A solution of bromopyruvic acid (1.67 g, 10 mmol) in 10 ml of methanol was added dropwise at room temperature. The resulting mixture was heated to reflux for 1.5 h, cooled to room temperature, poured into 100 ml of water and adjusted with 0.2N HCl solution to pH2. The mixture was placed in a refrigerator for 15 h. The title compound was obtained by filtration as a brown solid.
