Chlorosuccinimide → HCID 18966286, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a flask were placed 2.23 g (0.0122 mole) of 4-amino-2,2-dimethyl-5-fluoro-1,3-benzodioxole and 40 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide. To this solution was added in a dropwise manner a solution of 1.79 g (0.0134 mole) of N-chlorosuccinimide in N,N-dimethylformamide while maintaining the temperature at ambient conditions. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure, leaving a residue which was passed through a column of silica gel eluting with methylene chloride/heptane (1:1 ). Product-containing fractions were combined and the solvent evaporated, yielding 1.93 g of 4-amino-7-chloro-2,2-dimethyl-5-fluoro-1,3-benzodioxole as the residue. The NMR spectrum was consistent with the proposed structure.
