Boron trifluoride etherate → Ethyl 8-[N-(2-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)sulfamoyl]-1,4-dithiaspiro[4.5]dec-6-ene-7-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

100 mg (0.27 mmol) of ethyl 6-[N-(2-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)sulfamoyl]-3-oxo-1-cyclohexene-1-carboxylate obtained in Example 7 was dissolved in 1 ml of dichloromethane and 0.034 ml (0.405 mmol) of ethane-1,2-dithiol and 0.025 ml (0.203 mmol) of boron trifluoride diethyl etherate were added thereto with stirring under ice-cooling, followed by stirring at room temperature for 1 hour. To the reaction solution was added a 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and the mixture was extracted with diethyl ether. The organic layer was washed with water and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, followed by concentration under reduced pressure. The resulting solid was washed with diethyl ether and then with hexane to give 325 mg of the title compound as a white powder (76% yield).
