Reaction Steps

Sulfuryl chloride (0.5 mL) was added dropwise to a solution of methyl 3,5-dibromo-4-mercaptophenylacetate (Preparation E, 0.8 g) in 50 mL of dichloromethane for 1 hour. The sulfenyl chloride product was then added dropwise to an ice-cooled suspension of 2-cyclopentylphenol (0.44 g) and tin (IV) chloride (0.53 mL) in methanol. Following the procedures of Examples 1 and 3, the product methyl 3,5-dibromo-4-(3-cyclopentyl-4-hydroxyphenylsulfonyl)phenylacetate, MP: 171°-173.5° C., (0.7 g) was purified and converted to 3,5-dibromo-4-(3-cyclopentyl-4-hydroxyphenylsulfonyl)phenylacetic acid, MP: 196°-198° C.
