Procedure

A mixture of 60.4 g of [(o-bromophenyl)thio]methanesulfonic acid, sodium salt and 98.0 g of phosphorus pentachloride is blended until liquified, diluted with 600 ml of ether, and then poured on 1.2 kg of crushed ice. The ether layer is separated, washed, dried, and concentrated to give about 43.7 g of the named compound, bp about 86° (0.6 mm), mp about 28°-30° .
