Water → (3,4-Dichloroisothiazol-5-yl)methyl benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

3.0 g (16.3 mmol) of the above-produced (3,4-dichloroisothiazol-5-yl)methanol and 2.52 g (17.9 mmol) of benzoyl chloride were dissolved in 70 ml of toluene. Thereto was dropwise added, under ice-cooling, 1.98 g (19.6 mmol) of triethylamine. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. Water was added, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and concentrated. The resulting crystals were washed with hexane to obtain 4.1 g (yield: 87%) of (3,4-dichloroisothiazol-5-yl)methyl benzoate as colorless crystals (melting point: 79 to 80° C.).
