Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A solution of 1.34 g of sodium hydroxide in water was added dropwise over 15 minutes with vigorous stirring to a solution of 8.5 g of pentafluorophenyl 4-hydroxybenzoate and 3.2 ml of thiophosgene in 100 ml of chloroform at -20° C. The mixture was stirred at 5° C. until the reaction was complete and the organic layer separated, dried over calcium chloride and the solvent evaporated. Chromatography of the residue on silica gel eluting with hexane/ethyl acetate mixtures afforded 5.9 g of the title compound.
