See FIG. 3A. Nitration of 2-methylbenzothiazole was performed following the method of Mizuno, J. Pharm. Soc. Japan, 72, 745 (1952). A mixture of fuming nitric acid (1.6 mL) and concentrated sulfuric acid (1.2 mL) was added to an ice-cooled solution of 2-methylbenzothiazole (2 g) in sulfuric acid (8 mL). The solution was allowed to warm to room temperature for one hour, then poured onto 100 mL of ice. The solid was filtered, washed with water, and recrystallized from ethanol (80 mL) to provide 2.5 g of yellowish needles.
