Sulfuryl chloride → 2,5-Dichloro-1,3-benzothiazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sulfuryl chloride (10 mL) was added to 5-chloro-2-mercaptobenzothiazole at 0° C. After complete addition, the reaction mixture was allowed to warm to rt. After 2 h, the reaction mixture was poured into ice water (100 mL). This was allowed to warm to rt and was extracted with EtOAc (3×). The combined organics were dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The material was used without further purification. LC-MS: RT=10.03 min., compound does not ionize.
