Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 66593501, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(Benzothiazol-2-yl)acetonitrile (0.69 g, 4 mmol) was added in portions to a suspension of 95% sodium hydride ((0.21 g, 6 mmol) in THF (12 mL). The resulting yellow suspension was stirred at room temperature for 30 min, and 2-chloropyrimidine (0.45 g, 4 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred for 3 d, and water was added to the dark solution. The mixture was acidified with 1N hydrochloric acid, and the precipitate that formed was collected by filtration, washed with water and acetonitrile, and dried under vacuum to give 2-[benzothiazol-2(3H)-ylidene]-2-(pyrimidin-2-yl)acetonitrile as a brown solid.
