Hydrochloric Acid → Methyl 4-(aminocarbonothioyl)-2-fluorobenzoate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A sodium hydrogensulfide hydrate (9.22 g, 0.165 mol) was added to an N,N-dimethylformamide (74 mL) suspension of methyl 4-cyano-2-fluorobenzoate (WO 2010/115751) (7.37 g, 41.1 mmol) and magnesium chloride hexahydrate (10.0 g, 49.4 mmol) at room temperature. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. Subsequently, water (148 mL) was added to the reaction mixture, and the precipitated solid was filtered. The solid thus obtained was added to 1 N aqueous hydrochloric acid solution (148 mL), and the mixture was stirred for 20 minutes. The solid in the reaction mixture was filtered to give the title compound (7.63 g, yield: 87%).
