1-Bromo-3-chloropropane → 6-Chloro-3-(3-chloropropyl)-2(3H)-benzothiazolone

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 6-chloro-benzothiazolone (VIII) (55.7 g, 0.3 mol), K2CO3 (62.1 g, 0.45 mol) and 1-bromo-3-chloropropane (IX) (71 g, 0.45 mol) in acetone (600 ml) was refluxed for 16 hours. After cooling, the inorganic substance was filtered off and washed dichloromethane. The filtrate and washings were combined and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was washed with hexane and recrystallized from dichloromethane to obtain compound (X) (73.5 g, yield=93.4%) as colorless needle-shaped crystals.
