Sulfuric Acid → HCID 13101160, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

30.4 g (138 mmoles) of 4,8-dihydro-benzo[1,2-c:4,5-c']dithiophene-4,8-dione are suspended in 200 ml of methylene chloride; 280 ml of concentrated sulfuric acid are then added dropwise, with ice-cooling and stirring. A total of 13.0 g (200 mmoles) of sodium azide is then introduced a little at a time into the well stirred reaction mixture at 0° C. over a period of 2 hours. The mixture is then stirred at room temperature for 8 to 10 hours. The reaction mixture is poured carefully into 3 l of ice-water, with thorough stirring, and the solid which precipitates after a short time is filtered off with suction. The crude product is washed with a large amount of water until it gives a neutral reaction, and is dried at 50° C. under reduced pressure.
