Reactions of 1-Chloro-2,6-dinitro-4-perfluoroalkylthiobenzenes (2a,b) with Ethyl Thioglycolate
(General Method). A sample of triethylamine (1.2 ml, 8.4 mmol) was added with stirring to a mixture of
2,6-dinitro-4-perfluoroalkylchlorobenzene 2a or 2b (7.6 mmol) and ethyl thioglycolate (0.9 g, 7.6 mmol) in
ethanol with ice cooling. The reaction solution was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The precipitate formed
was filtered off, washed with water and then ethanol, and dried.
2-Ethoxycarbonyl-7-nitro-5-trifluoromethylthiobenzothiazole N-Oxide (11a) was obtained in 75%
yield in the above reaction as orange crystals; mp 134-136°C. IR spectrum (vaseline oil), ν, cm-1: 1740 (C=O).
1H NMR spectrum (CDCl3), δ, ppm, J (Hz): 1.46 (3H, t, J = 7.2, CH3); 4.53 (2H, q, J = 7.2, CH2); 8.84 (2H, s,

m/z 367.976 [M]+. C11H7F3N2O5S2. Calculated: M 367.975.
2-Ethoxycarbonyl-7-nitro-5-pentafluoroethylthiobenzothiazole N-Oxide (11b) was obtained in
66.7% yield in the above reaction as orange crystals; mp 145-147°C. IR spectrum (vaseline oil), ν, cm-1: 1740
(C=O). 1H NMR spectrum (CDCl3), δ, ppm, J (Hz): 1.48 (3H, t, J = 7.2, CH3); 4.56 (2H, q, J = 7.2, CH2); 8.85
(1H, s, Ar); 8.88 (1H, d, J = 1.7, Ar). 19F NMR spectrum, δ, ppm: -91.15 (2F, s, CF2); -82.62 (3F, s, CF3). Mass
spectrum, m/z (I, %): 418 ([M]+), 20), 402 ([M - O]+, 55), 386 (15), 372 ([M - NO2]+, 17), 357 ([M - O - EtO]+,
48), 346 ([M - EtO - HCN]+, 28), 330 ([M - O -EtO - HCN]+, 100), 311 (14), 284 (25). Found: m/z 417.973
[M]+. C12H7F5N2O5S2. Calculated: M 417.972.
7-Nitro-5-trifluoromethylthiobenzothiazolyl-2-hydroxamic Acid N-Oxide (12). A mixture of
hydroxylamine hydrochloride (0.11 g, 1.63 mol) and sodium hydroxide (0.13 g) in methanol was added with
stirring to a solution of 9b (0.5 g, 1.36 mmol) in methanol. Stirring was continued for about 5 h. The solvent
was evaporated and the residue was dissolved in water. The solution was acidified by adding hydrochloric acid.
The precipitate formed was filtered off, washed with water and then methanol, and dried to give 10 as orange
crystals in 51% yield; mp 229-231°C. IR spectrum (vaseline oil), ν, cm-1: 3450, 3150 (OH, NH), 1650 (C=O).
1H NMR spectrum (DMSO-d6), δ, ppm: 8.54 (1H, s, Ar); 8.53 (1H, s, Ar); 11.83 (1H, br. s, NH). 19F NMR
spectrum, δ, ppm: -42.45. Mass spectrum, m/z (I, %): 355 ([M]+, 2), 339 ([M - O]+, 3), 323 (12), 305 (14),
295 (15), 280 (53), 275 (27), 250 (35), 234 (29), 206 (16). Found: m/z 354.955 [M]+. C9H4F3N3O5S2. Calculated:
M 354.954.
