The mixture was refluxed for 12 hours, and then allowed to cool down to room temperature. The precipitated succinimide was filtered off and the filtrate evaporated to dryness in vacuo, whereupon 55 g of crude crystals were obtained. Recrystallization from 1500 ml of cyclohexane gave 41 g of purified 4-(benzothiazol-2-yl) bromomethylbenzene as colorless flakes.
