Thiophosgene → 2-Tert-butyl-6-isothiocyanato-5-(4-methylpiperidin-1-yl)benzothiazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a cooled mixture of 2.1 g of 6-amino-2-tert-butyl-5-(4-methylpiperidin-1-yl)benzothiazole and 2.8 g of potassium bicarbonate in 20 ml of chloroform is added dropwise 1.6 g of thiophosgene in 5 ml of chloroform under stirring. The stirring is continued for 2 hours maintaining the temperature at 0°-2° . The solid is filtered and the filtrate is evaporated. The solid thus obtained is dissolved in chloroform and filtered through a silica gel column. The filtrate is evaporated to give 2-tert-butyl-6-isothiocyanato-5-(4-methylpiperidin-1-yl)benzothiazole, melting at 54°-58°.
