Chlorosuccinimide → HCID 178472354, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of cis/trans-4-(4-methyl-thiazol-2-yl)-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid ethyl ester (1:5) (200 mg, 0.789 mmol) and N-chlorosuccinimide (116 mg, 0.868 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (1.6 ml) was stirred for 1 h at 50° C. The reaction mixture was partitioned between tert-butyl methyl ether (25 ml) and 0.1 M aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (25 ml). The layers were separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with one 25-ml portion of tert-butyl methyl ether. The combined organic layers were washed with three 25-ml portions of water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give the crude title compound (209 mg, 92%) as light yellow solid, which was used in the next step without further purification. MS m/e: 288 ([M+H]+)
