4-Bromobenzoic acid → 4-Bromo-3-(chlorosulfonyl)benzoic acid

Temperature

130 °C

4-Bromobenzoic acid (10 g, 49.75 mmol) was added portion wise to chlorosulfonic acid (25 ml, 373.13 mmol) at 0° C. The mixture was heated to 130° C. for 10 hours, until complete consumption of the starting material was observed by LCMS. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool down to ambient temperature, then added drop wise to an ice/water mixture (500 ml). The precipitate was filtered and washed with cold water (2×100 ml). The solid recovered was dissolved in diethyl ether, the solution then dried over sodium sulphate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to afford the expected product as a beige solid (11.85 g, 79% yield); δH (400 MHz, DMSO) 8.45 (1H, d, 1.7 Hz), 7.72 (1H, d, 2.2 Hz), 7.71 (1H, s); TR=2.08 min.
