Carbon tetrabromide → 5-[2-Bromo-4-(bromomethyl)phenyl]isothiazolidin-3-one 1,1-dioxide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-[2-bromo-4-(hydroxymethyl)phenyl]isothiazolidin-3-one 1,1-dioxide (54.0 mg, 0.169 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (5 mL) was added triphenylphosphine (49 mg, 0.18 mmol) and carbon tetrabromide (62 mg, 0.18 mmol) at room temperature. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction was diluted with acetonitrile and purified by preparative LCMS to give the product as a white solid.
