Bromoacetyl chloride → 6-(Bromoacetyl)benzothiazolinone

Participants

Reaction Steps

210 g (1.60 mol) of aluminum chloride are introduced into a 500-cm3 ground-necked flask surmounted by a condenser, and 43 cm3 of dimethylformamide are then added dropwise and with magnetic stirring via a dropping funnel. 30.2 g (0.2 mol) of benzothiazolinone are then added and, while the reaction medium homogenizes, the temperature is stabilized at 70° C. using an oil bath. 19.8 cm3 (0.24 mol) of bromoacetyl chloride are then introduced gradually. After the addition, the mixture is left stirring for one hour at a temperature of 70° C. The reaction medium is hydrolyzed by pouring it onto crushed ice and the precipitate obtained is drained, washed copiously with water and dried. The product is recrystallized in dioxane.
