Reaction Conditions:
with N-Bromosuccinimide in N,N-dimethyl-formamide at 0 - 20; for 2.16667 h;Large scale;
Steps:
1.2a Step 2a. 2-Bromo-4-(methylsulfonyl)-6-nitrophenol (Compound 3)
Step 2a. 2-Bromo-4-(methylsulfonyl)-6-nitrophenol (Compound 3)
N-Bromosuccinimide (NBS, 680 g, 3.82 moles, 1.0 equiv) was added at 0° C. to a solution of 4-(methylsulfonyl)-2-nitro-phenol (Compound 2, 825 g, 3.8 moles) in DMF (5.9 L).
The cooling bath was removed after 10 minutes and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for two hours.
When LCMS indicated the reaction was complete, water (5.9 L) was added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for one hour.
The solids were filtered, washed with water (3*2.5 L) and dried under vacuum at 45° C. overnight to give 2-bromo-4-(methylsulfonyl)-6-nitrophenol (Compound 3, 1085 g, 1131.1 g theoretical, 95.9% yield) as yellow powder, which was used in the subsequent reaction without further purification.
Compound 3: LCMS calculated for C7H6BrNO5S (M-H)-: 293.9, Found: 294.0; 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 8.33 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H), 8.31 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H), 3.27 (s, 3H) ppm.
