Bromine → 4-(2-bromoacetyl)benzenesulfonyl Chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-(4-Chloro-3-chlorosulfonylphenyl-3-methyl-2-methylimino-1,3-thiazolidine-4-ol-hydrobromide. 5.1 g of 4'-chloro-3'-chlorosulfonyl-acetophenone were reacted in the manner described in Example 1(a) with 3.2 g bromine in ethyl acetate to yield the 2-bromo-4'-chlorosulfonylacetophenone (melting point: 111° C. from chloroform, γC=O 1700 cm-1) which was reacted without further isolation, as described in Example 1(b) with 2.1 g of 1,3-dimethylthiourea in 50 ml of acetone. The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at 30°-35° C., cooled to 10° C. and the 4-(4-chloro-3-chlorosulfonylphenyl)-3-methyl-2-methylimino-1,3-thazolidine-4-ol-hydrobromide was filtered. Colorless crystals melting at 162° C. (decomposition).
