Ethyl bromoacetate → HCID 20317766, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium (0.46 g) was dissolved in ethanol (20 ml) and 3-(5-tetrazolyl)thioxanthone-10,10-dioxide (6.24 g) was added. Ethyl bromoacetate (3.34 g) was added to the mixture, which was boiled under reflux for 1.5 hours. The ester intermediate was deposited during this time, and after cooling was filtered off, washed with water and dried, m.p. 194°-195° C. The ester was boiled with concentrated hydrochloric acid (40 ml) and acetic acid (120 ml) for 2 hr. On cooling 3-(2-carboxymethyl-5-tetrazolyl)thioxanthone-10,10-dioxide crystallised out, and was filtered off, recrystallised from acetic acid, and dried, m.p. 252° C. with decomposition.
