Procedure

A suspension of 267.3 mg of 4-(2-amino-4-thiazolyl)-2-methoxy-6-nitrophenol in 10 ml of dry methylene chloride is treated at -20° with 1.25 g of boron tribromide. After the addition the mixture is stirred at -20° for a further 1 hour and at room temperature without cooling for 18 hours. The reaction mixture is then evaporated, the residue is treated cautiously with water and stirred at 50° for 30 minutes. After cooling to room temperature the mixture is suction filtered and the crude product is removed by filtration and washed with a small amount of water. There is obtained 5-(2-amino-4-thiazolyl)-3-nitropyrocatechol hydrobromide of m.p. 244°-246° (from methanol).
