Hydrogen Bromide → HCID 18756149, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 14.4 g (52 mmol) of 2-(4-aminosulfonylphenyl)-1-phenylethanone in 240 mL of glacial acetic acid stirred under nitrogen, a solution of 24 mL of hydrobromic acid in glacial acetic acid (33%) was added. To the reaction mixture was added slowly 8.4 g (52 mmol) of bromine. It was stirred at room temperature until complete loss of the colour. After concentration, the resulting residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate (500 mL). The organic layer was washed twice with 5% aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution (2×350 mL) and with brine (350 mL). The organic layer was dried, filtered and concentrated in vacuum. The residue was swished in hexane to give 14.9 g (80%) of the desired solid as a white powdered solid.
