Lawesson's reagent → (S)-2'-bromo-7'-iodospiro[morpholine-3,9'-xanthene]-5-thione

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a 250-mL flask, the (S)-2′-bromo-7′-iodospiro[morpholine-3,9′-xanthen]-5-one (1.483 g, 3.14 mmol) was suspended in toluene (30 mL). Lawesson's reagent (0.794 g, 1.963 mmol) was added. An air-cooled condenser was affixed, and the reaction vessel was placed in a 90° C. oil bath. After 7 h, the reaction was concentrated. Without working it up, the residue was purified by chromatography (15% EtOAc/hexanes) to afford (S)-2′-bromo-7′-iodospiro[morpholine-3,9′-xanthene]-5-thione (1.25 g, 2.56 mmol).
