Chloroform → Quinoline-8-sulfonyl bromide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 500 ml, single-neck flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer is charged with 6.59 g (0.0295 mol) of 8-quinolinesulfonyl hydrazine and 200 ml of chloroform. Crushed ice is added, and the slurry is vigorously stirred. 9.50 g of bromine is added dropwise to the slurry with stirring. After the addition of bromine is complete and all of the bromine color has disappeared, the layers are separated. The chloroform layer is dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the chloroform is removed in vacuo leaving a pale yellow solid. The solid is slurried with hexane, filtered, and vacuum dried to give 6.00 g (0.221 mol) of 8-quinolinesulfonyl bromide m.p. 142°-144° C.
