반응 단계

4-Chlorobenzothiazolone (9.28 g, 0.05 mole) was dissolved in a solution of sodium hydroxide (3.19 g, 0.075 mole) in water (220 ml), and tetra-n-butylammonium bromide (0.48 g, 0.0015 mole) and toluene (80 ml) were added thereto. Methyl iodide (11.21 g, 0.075 mole) was added dropwise thereto at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes and then at 50° to 60° C. for 1 hour, followed by cooling and phase-separation. The toluene layer was washed once with water, and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure to obtain 9.58 g of 4-chloro-N-methylbenzothiazolone as pale yellow crystals. Yield 96.0%, purity 99.3%, m.p. 130°-132° C.
