Benzothiazole → HCID 178468679, compound

Temperature

80 °C

The crude 2-bromo-6-ethoxycarbonylbenzothiazole (1.90 g, 6.64 mmol) from Step 2 was suspended in absolute ethanol (35 mL) and treated with potassium hydrogen sulfide (0.96 g, 13.3 mmol). The mixture was placed under a nitrogen atmosphere, stirred, and heated in an oil bath at 80° C. The benzothiazole starting material gradually went into solution. After heating for 30 minutes,the mixture was cooled in an ice bath, treated with IN hydrochloric acid (13.5 mL), and evaporated under vacuum. The residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate (100 mL) and water (100 mL) and the aqueous phase extracted with more ethyl acetate (50 mL). The combined ethyl acetate solution was washed with brine (50 mL), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated under vacuum to a yellow-tan solid (1.56 g). This material was triturated with diethyl ether and dried under vacuum to provide 6-ethoxycarbonyl-2-mercaptobenzothiazole (1.14 g) as a pale tan powder.
