The reaction mixture was slowly warmed to ambient temperature and stirred overnight. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and purified by silica gel chromatography, eluting with 10:1 to 2:1 petroleum ether/EtOAc to afford 2-chloro-3-(2-(methylthio)benzo[d]thiazol-6-yl)propanal as a yellow oil (2.1 g, 79%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 9.56 (dd, J=1.2, 2.1 Hz, 1H), 7.81 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H), 7.63 (d, J=0.6 Hz, 1H), 7.28 (d, J=1.5 Hz, 1H), 4.44-4.39 (m, 1H), 3.51-3.44 (m, 1H), 3.20-3.13 (m, 1H), 2.78 (s, 3H). LCMS (ESI) m/z 290 (M+18+H)+.
