The reaction mixture is maintained under stirring at 85.5° C. for 18 hours, then after concentration under reduced pressure, 100 ml of ethyl acetate is added to the medium which is then washed with twice 75 ml of a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride. The organic phase is dried over sodium sulphate then the solvents are evaporated off under reduced pressure and the residue is purified by chromatography on a silica column (eluent: ethyl acetate/heptane mixture 1:2). 1.06 g (83% yield) of 6-methoxy-2-(2-naphthyl)-7-nitro-1,3-benzothiazole is obtained in the form of beige powder.
