Water → Methyl 4-bromo-2-(1,1-dioxoisothiazolidin-2-yl)benzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Methyl 2-amino-4-bromobenzoate (5 g) and triethylamine (5.73 mL) were dissolved in methylene chloride (39 mL), 3-chloropropane-1-sulfonyl chloride (3.44 mL) was added under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature. After completion of the reaction, water was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with chloroform. The organic layer was washed with dilute hydrochloric acid and saturated brine, and the solvent was evaporated. To the obtained residue were added 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU)(3.9 mL) and N,N-dimethylformamide (29 mL), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature. After completion of the reaction, water was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with dilute hydrochloric acid and saturated brine, and the solvent was evaporated. To the obtained residue was added diisopropyl ether, and the precipitate was collected by filtration to give the title compound (5.05 g).
