Succinic anhydride → HCID 14601655, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 5-chloro-3-(3-hydroxypiperidinocarbonylmethyl)benzothiazolin-2-one (3.2 g) in dry pyridine (2.5 ml) and dry tetrahydrofuran (50 ml) was cooled. To the solution was dropwise added a solution of succinic anhydride (1.1 g) in dry tetrahydrofuran (5 ml) under stirring. The mixture was refluxed for two hours and then left overnight. The solvent was evaporated off under vacuum from the reaction mixture. The residue was dissolved in 5% aqueous sodium bicarbonate (20 ml). The resultant solution was cooled and adjusted to pH 2 with 1% hydrochloric acid. The precipitated crystals were collected by filtration, washed with water and then recrystallized from isopropyl alcohol to yield the title compound as colorless crystals (2.0 g). m.p. 131°-133° C.
