Participants

Reaction Steps

The methyl 4-(4-hydroxybenzothiazol-2-yl)benzoate (2.5 g) obtained in Example 4 was added to 30 ml of acetic anhydride, and the mixture was refluxed for 2 hours. After the reaction, the reaction mixture was dried under reduced pressure. The residue was washed with a small amount of cyclohexane, and recrystallized from cyclohexane and ethyl acetate to give 2.3 g of methyl 4-(4-acetoxybenzothiazol-2-yl)benzoate.
