Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 4-bromo-2-hydroxy-benzoic acid methyl ester (Mori, N. et al, Bull Chem. Soc. Jpn. 1969, 42(2), 488-491) (29.3 g, 127 mmol) and dimethylthiocarbamoyl chloride (17.2 g, 140 mmol) in DMF at room temperature was added DABCO (21.3 g, 190 mmol). The resulting mixture, after being stirred at room temperature overnight, was diluted with water (1.25 L) and acidified to a pH of around 4 using 1 N HCl. The precipitate was collected, rinsed with water and dried in vacuo to provide 4-bromo-2-dimethylthiocarbamoyloxy-benzoic acid methyl ester as an off-white solid (36.8 g). 1H NMR (200 MHz, CDCl3): δ (ppm)=7.84 (d, J=8.2 Hz, 1H), 7.43 (dd, J=8.6, 2.0 Hz, 1H), 7.29 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H), 3.83 (s, 3H), 3.45 (s, 3H), 3.38 (s, 3H).
