Benzoyl Peroxide → HCID 21866262, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3-chloro-4-(4-chloro-2-methylphenyl)-1,2,5-thiadiazole (0.211 g, 0.86 mmol), NBS (0.153 g, 0.86 mmol) and benzoyl peroxide (10.4 mg, 0.04 mmol) in carbon tetrachloride (5.0 mL) were refluxed for 1 h. More benzoyl peroxide (10.4 mg, 0.04 mmol) was added and the solution was refluxed for a further 16 h. The resulting suspension was filtered, rinsing with ether. The filtrate was washed with 10% aqueous sodium sulfite, saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate solution and brine. The ether layer was separated, dried (Na2SO4) and reduced in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica (eluting with EtOAc/hexanes gradient, 1–3% EtOAc). 3-[2-(Bromomethyl)-4-chlorophenyl]-4-chloro-1,2,5-thiadiazole was isolated as a yellow oil. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) δ 4.51 (s, 2H), 7.43 (s, 2H), 7.55 (s, 1H).
