Dichloromethane → Methyl 4-bromo-2-(1,1-dioxoisothiazolidin-2-yl)benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of methyl 2-amino-4-bromobenzoate (5 g), triethylamine (5.73 mL), methylene chloride (39 mL) was added 3-chloropropanesulfonyl chloride (3.44 mL) under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature. Water was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with chloroform. The organic layer was washed with diluted hydrochloric acid and saturated brine, and the solvent was evaporated. To the residue were added 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) (3.9 mL) and DMF (29 mL), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature. Water was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with diluted hydrochloric acid and saturated brine, and the solvent was evaporated. To the residue was added isopropyl ether, and the precipitated solid was collected by filtration to give the title compound (5.045 g).
