Nitric Acid → 3-(5-Methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-5-nitro-1,2-benzisothiazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 3-(5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)-1,2-benzisothiazole(6.8 g, 0.0291 mol) and conc. sulfuric acid at 10° C. is added 90% nitric acid (3.20 ml, 0.582 mol) dropwise. The resultant mixture is stirred 90 min at 0-10° C. and poured into ice water with stirring. Filtration affords a solid which is stirred in hot methylene chloride and filtered to afford the title compound as a tan solid (mp 239-240° C.) which is identified by NMR analysis.
