After evolution of H2 had subsided, freshly distilled ethyl formate (7.3 mL, 6.7 g, 89.7 mmol) was added, followed by 2-methyl-5,6-dihydro-4H-benzothiazol-7-one (3.0 g, 17.9 mmol) in dry Et2O (12 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 h. 10% aq HCl solution was added (150 mL) and the product was extracted with EtOAc (5×150 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried, filtered, and concentrated under vacuum to leave a brown oily crude product. Purification by flash column chromatography (20% EtOAc:hexane) afforded the pure title product as a yellow solid (2.30 g, 66%): mp 107-108° C. Anal. RP-HPLC: tR 12.6 min (0-60% MeCN, purity 100%). 1H-NMR (CDCl3): δ 9.90 (s, CHO), 7.20 (s, 1H, CH), 2.91 (t, 2H, J 7.1, CH2), 2.67 (s, 3H, CH3), 2.58 (t, 2H, J 7.1, CH2). 13C-NMR (CDCl3): δ 198.6, 186.3, 174.2, 165.7, 162.6, 131.0, 108.4, 27.0, 24.5, 20.7.
