Sulfuryl chloride → 6-Chloro-7-methoxy-3,4-dihydrocarbostyril

Participants

Reaction Steps

35.4 Grams of 7-methoxy-3,4-dihydrocarbostyril are dissolved in 300 ml of acetic acid. This solution is stirred under ice-cooling conditions, and 100 ml of acetic acid solution containing 27 g of sulfuryl chloride are added dropwise and allowed to stand overnight. The reaction mixture is poured into 1 liter of ice-water and the precipitate thus formed is separated by filtration, washed with water and dried. Recrystallization from methanol obtains 30 g of 6-chloro-7-methoxy-3,4-dihydrocarbostyril in the form of colorless needle-like crystals with a melting point of 212° C.
