Thionyl Chloride → HCID 54397907, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Reaction of 2-isopropyl-4-fluorobenzoic acid with thionyl chloride affords 2-isopropyl-4-fluorobenzoyl-chloride, which, on reaction with diethylamine, affords 2-isopropyl-4-fluoro-N,N-diethylbenzamide. Reaction of the latter with s-butyl lithium and reaction of the resulting lithium salt with sulfur dioxide followed by sodium hydroxylamine-O-sulfonate affords 2-isopropyl-4-fluoro-6-aminosulfonyl-N,N-diethylbenzamide, which, on heating in glacial acetic acid, affords 4-isopropyl-6-fluorosaccharin.
