Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a stirred mixture of 5-nitro-1,2-benzisothiazole-3-carboxylic acid (5.5 g, 0.0246 mole) and ethylene dichloride (55 ml) is added thionyl chloride (2.92 g, 1.63 ml, 1.0 eq.), and the reaction mixture heated to 70° C. An additional portion of thionyl chloride (1.46 g, 0.82 ml, 0.5 eq) is added and heating at 70° C. continued for 2.5 hours. The cooled solution is concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound which is identified by NMR and IR analysis, and used without further purification.
