Phenyl thioxochloroformate → HCID 11687529, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 5-(2,6-dichloro-benzyl)-1H-imidazole (Intermediate A4) (0.34 g, 1.5 mmol) in THF (6 mL) and water (6 mL) was treated with NaHCO3 (1.2 g) at rt for 10 m. Phenyl chlorothionoformate (0.60 mL, ˜4.3 mmol) was added and stirring was continued for 3 h. The mixture was diluted with water (10 mL) and extracted with ether (4×15 mL). The organic portions were combined, dried over MgSO4, filtered and freed of solvent. The residue was dissolved in MeOH (6 mL) and treated with NEt3 (0.6 mL) for 18 h. The solvent was removed under vacuum and the product was washed on a glass frit with CH2Cl2 to give a white solid 4-(2,6-dichloro-benzyl)-1,3-dihydro-imidazole-2-thione (Compound 1) in ˜50% yield.
