Dimethyl Sulfoxide → N-[2-(4,5,7-trifluorobenzothiazol-2-ylthio)acetyl]-N-phenylglycine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To DMSO (5 ml) was added 2-(4,5,7-trifluorobenzothiazol-2-ylthio)-N-phenylacetamide (354 mg, 1 mmol), bromoacetic acid (278 mg, 2 mmol) and potassium carbonate (414 mg, 3 mmol) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 5 hours under a nitrogen stream. The resultant reaction mixture was diluted with water and washed with ethyl acetate. The aqueous phase was acidified with 7% hydrochloric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed with water, dried and then evaporated to yield crude crystals, which were recrystallized from ethyl acetate-hexane to give N-[2-(4,5,7-trifluorobenzothiazol-2-ylthio)acetyl]-N-phenylglycine (80 mg, 19%) as slightly yellow crystals.
