Lawesson's reagent → 4-bromo-2-fluoro-N-methylbenzothioamide

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-bromo-2-fluoro-N-methylbenzamide (500 mg, 2 mmol) and Lawesson reagent (872 mg, 2.16 mmol) in toluene (10 mL) was heated to 100° C. and stirred for 4 hours. The reaction was cooled to room temperature, diluted with toluene, and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated and purification of the residue by flash column chromatography (0-20% ethyl acetate/heptanes) gave the title compound (520 mg, 97%) as a yellow solid. +ESI (M+H+1) 250.1; 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3, δ): 8.09 (t, J=8.58 Hz, 1H), 8.03 (br. s., 1H), 7.35 (dd, J=8.19, 2.15 Hz, 1H), 7.27 (dd, J=11.41, 1.85 Hz, 1H), 3.36 (dd, J=4.88, 0.78 Hz, 3H).
