Bromine → HCID 57436554, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

3-Chlorobenzo[d]isothiazole (10 g, 59.0 mmol) was added to a solution of bromine (3.2 mL, 62.0 mmol) and silver sulfate (19.6 g, 63.0 mmol) in sulfuric acid (200 mL). The resulting brown mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature for 2 h under nitrogen. The color slowly faded to pale yellow as a white precipitate formed. The precipitate was collected by vacuum filtration and triturated with hexanes to yield 5-bromo-3-chlorobenzo[d]isothiazole as a white solid (3.8 g). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): 8.18 (s, 1H), 7.8 (d, 1H), 7.64 ppm (d, 1H).
