Ethyl Thioglycolate → 6-Nitro-2H-benzo[b][1,4]thiazin-3(4H)-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2.44M aqueous NaOH (24 mL, 58 mmol) was added to a stirring solution of ethyl 2-mercaptoacetate (19 mL, 174 mmol) in EtOH (150 mL). The mixture was added to the stirring solution of 2-chloro-5-nitroaniline (10 g, 58 mmol) in EtOH (68 ml). The resulting mixture was heated at reflux overnight. After this time the reaction was diluted with EtOAc and washed with water. The separated organic layer was dried over Mg2SO4, filtered and evaporated in vacuo. The crude residue was triturated with EtOAc to give 6-nitro-2H-benzo[b]-[1,4]thiazin-3(4H)-one. Mass Spectrum (ESI) m/e=257 (M+1).
