Procedure

A mixture of 7-chloro-2-methyl-benzothiazole (1.00 g, 5.45 mmol), N-bromosuccinimide (1.26 g, 7.08 mmol), benzoyl peroxide (0.1 g), and CCl4 (10 mL was heated to reflux under irradiation of a UV lamp for 14 h. The reaction mixture was cooled and filtered to remove the succinimide formed in the reaction, and the filtrate was evaporated to dryness. The resulting solid was purified by flash chromatography to give the title lamp (400 mg, 1.5 mmol). 1H-NMR (CDCl3): δ 7.94 (d, 1H), 7.47 (t, 1H), 7.42 (d, 1H), 4.82 (s, 2H, CH2). HPLC Rt: 7.19 min.
