Water → 2-(2,6-Dichloro-4-nitro-phenylsulfanyl)-5-trifluoromethyl-benzothiazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-mercapto-5-trifluoromethyl-benzothiazole (239) (470 mg, 2.0 mmol) in DMF (20 mL) was added NaH (Aldrich, 60% suspension in hexanes, 80 mg, 2.0 mmol). After the resulting mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 20 minutes, was added 1,2,3-trichloro-5-nitrobenzene (Acros, 452 mg, 2.0 mmol). The mixture was then heated at 60° C. for 4 hours. After cooled to room temperature, the mixture was poured to water and stirred for 1 hour. The solid product was collected by vacuum filtration to give 258 as a pale yellow solid (840 mg, 99%) which was used in the next reaction without further purification.
