Thiophosgene → 1,3-Dibromo-2-isothiocyanato-5-methoxybenzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

Thiophosgene (1.52 mL, 20.5 mmol) was added dropwise to a stirred mixture of 2,6-dibromo-4-methoxyaniline (2.86 g, 10.2 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (25 mL) and saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate (25 mL) at 0° C. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound as a yellow solid (3.22 g, 9.97 mmol, 98%).
