Thionyl Chloride → 2H-1,4-Benzothiazin-3(4H)-one, 2-(2-chloroethyl)-4-methyl-

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4.90 g of 2-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-methyl-2H-1,4-benzothiazin-3(4H)-one in 20 ml of dichloromethane, was added dropwise 5 ml of thionyl chloride with stirring at room temperature. The mixture was stirred for one hour and then concentrated. The concentrate was subjected to a column chromatography on silica-gel (35 g). From the eluate with hexane-ethyl acetate (4:1, v/v) was obtained 5.05 g (95.3%) of 2-(2-chloroethyl)-4-methyl-2H-1,4-benzothiazin-3(4H)-one as an oily substance.
