Sulfuryl chloride → Methyl 3-(3-bromo-5-chloro-4-hydroxyphenyl)Propionate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of Intermediate 5 (516 mg) in chloroform (5 ml) was added with sulfuryl chloride (177 μl), and stirred at room temperature for 21 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into aqueous saturated sodium hydrogencarbonate (20 ml), and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was successively washed with saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate, saturated aqueous ammonium chloride, and saturated brine and dried, and then the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography (Quad, hexane:ethyl acetate=10:1) to obtain the title compound (Intermediate 6, 290 mg).
