Participants

Reaction Steps

3.5 g of 2-isopropylthio-4-methylsulfonyloxy-1,3-thiazole was dissolved in 50 ml of ether, and 0.8 ml of bromine was added dropwise to the solution keeping the temperature below 0° C. After the addition, the solution was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours, then 5% solution of sodium hydrogen sulfite was added thereto to separate ether layer, which was washed with water and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, followed by concentration to an oil. The oil was purified by silica-gel column chromatography to obtain 3.7 g of the objective compound as a yellow oil (yield: 80.7%).
