Reaction Steps

A mixture of 37.3 g (0.15 mol) 3,6-dichloro-2-methylbenzo[b]thiophene-1,1-dioxide, 200 ml methanol and 45 ml diethylamine is heated for 4 hours to reflux. Afterwards it is concentrated by evaporation, taken up in ethyl acetate, washed with water, dried, concentrated and chromatographed on silica gel (eluting agent ethyl acetate/isohexane 1:1). 29.5 g of the title compound (62% of the theoretical yield) having a melting point of 58°-59° C. is isolated.
