Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 7-fluoro-benzo[d]isothiazole-6-carboxylic acid tert-butyl ester (1.0 g, 4.0 mmol) in DCM (10 mL) was added water (0.2 mL) and TFA (10 mL). There reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was azeotroped with toluene to give the title compound as a yellow solid (788 mg, 100%). LCMS (method B): RT=2.86 min, [M−H]−=196.
