Participants

Reaction Steps

3-bromo-2-fluorobenzenethiol (1.9 g, 9.2 mmol), sodium periodate (4.8 g, 22.9 mmol) and ruthenium trichloride (5 mg) in acetonitrile (60 ml) was stirred at 0° C. for 5 min. after which sulfonyl chloride (1.9 ml, 22.9 mmol) was added dropwise. The mixture was stirred for an additional hour and ethyl acetate (50 ml) and aqueous sodium carbonate (10%, 50 ml) was added. The phases were separated and the aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×50 ml). To the combined organic phase, dimethylamine (40% in water, 10 ml) was added and the mixture was stirred for 1 h. Evaporation of the solvents and purification by flash chromatography yielded the title compound (1.1 g). MS m/z (rel. intensity, 70 eV) 283 (M+, 47), 281 (M+, 44), 239 (32), 73 (59), 94 (bp).
