Tetrahydrofuran → (4-Methoxy-7-phenyl-benzothiazol-2-yl)-thiourea

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-benzoyl-3-(4-methoxy-7-phenyl-benzothiazol-2-yl)-thiourea (1.3 g, 3.1 mmol) in methanol (20 ml)/THF (40 ml) was added NaOMe (250 mg, 4.6 mmol) and the mixture stirrd for 72 h at r.t. After evaporation of the solvents water (100 ml) was added with stirring followed by aceticacid (1 ml) which caused a solid to precipitate. This solid was collected and on a glass sinter, washed with water (100 ml), followed by EtOAc (30 ml) then finally cyclohexane (30 ml). After drying the title compound was obtained as a white solid (850 mg, 87% yield), MS: m/e=316.2 (M+H+).
