Ammonium Hydroxide → 2,4-Dibromothiazole-5-sulfonamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 2,4-dibromothiazole-5-sulfonyl chloride (3.17 g, 9.28 mmol) in THF (51.4 mL) was added 33% aqueous NH4OH (24.1 mL, 278 mmol) and the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. The reaction was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was taken up in ethyl acetate (100 mL) and water (100 mL). The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (50 mL) and the combined organic layers were washed with water (50 mL) and brine (50 mL), then dried and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (ethyl acetate/DCM=0/100→20/80) to give 1.7 g (57% yield) of the title compound as a white solid. LC/MS (FA) ES+ 321, 323, 325. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ: 8.33 (s, 2H).
