Reaction Steps

3-amino-benzoic acid (6.00 g, 43.77 mmol), bis(carboxymethyl)trithiocarbonate (10.2 g, 45.09 mmol) in 1.029 N aqueous sodium hydroxide (44.5 g, 44.06 mmol) was heated at 100° C. for 16 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature. The precipitated solid was filtered, washed successively with 3N aqueous HCl (3×20 mL), water (3×20 mL), ethanol (2×20 mL) and dried in vacuum oven at 60° C. for 2 h to obtain 3-(4-oxo-2-thioxo-thiazolidin-3-yl)-benzoic acid (9.10 g, 82%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 4.34 (2H, s), 7.52-7.55 (1H, m), 7.67 (1H, t, J=8 Hz), 7.87 (1H, t, J=2 Hz), 8.02-8.05 (1H, dt, J=1.2 & 2.8 Hz); ESI-MS: 253.30.
