Sulfuryl chloride → 2-Chloro-(1,3)thiazolo(4,5-b)pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

The intermediate [1,3]thiazolo[4,5-b]pyridine-2(3H)-thione (644.0 mg, 3.83 mmol, dry powder) was treated with neat sulfuryl chloride (3.08 ml, 38.28 mmol) and allowed to stir at it overnight. The reaction mixture was quenched with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with 1N NaOH, followed by brine, and dried over Na2SO4. Concentration in vacuo gave the title compound (260.0 mg, 40%). LC/MS m/z 171.2 (MH+); retention time 1.55 min. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 7.58 (m, 1H), 8.62 (d, 1H), 8.78 (d, 1H).
