Reaction Steps

7-Methoxy-2,1-benzisothiazole was dissolved in ether and converted to the hydrochloride using dry hydrogen chloride gas. The 7-methoxy-2,1-benzisothiazole hydrochloride (6.0 g.) was refluxed 22 hours in a solution of 16 g. boron tribromide and 160 ml. methylene chloride to give 3.78 g. pure, yellow, crystalline 7-hydroxy-2,1-benzisothiazole, mp. 99°-100.5° after recrystallization from hexane. This structure was confirmed by nmr.
