1,2-Dichloro-3-isocyanatobenzene → SB-332235

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-amino-6-chloro-2-hydroxybenzenesulfonamide (0.88 g, 3.9 mmol) and 2,3-dichlorophenylisocyanate (0.62 mL, 4.6 mmol) in 5 mL of N,N-dimethyl-formamide was stirred at room temperature for 20 hours. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with water to give the crude material. Purification by column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with ethyl acetate/hexane (30/70 to 50/50, v/v), followed by recrystallization from dichloromethane and hexane, gave the desired product (1.18 g, 74%). mp 241-242° C.
