Water → N-[4-(5-Fluorobenzothiazol-2-ylmethoxy)phenyl]butyramide

Participants

Reaction Steps

0.09 ml of triethylamine and 0.07 ml of butyryl chloride were added to a solution of 150.8 mg of 4-(5-fluorobenzothiazol-2-ylmethoxy)aniline [prepared as described in step (b) above] in 3 ml of methylene chloride cooled in an ice-water bath. The temperature of the resulting mixture was then elevated to room temperature and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour. At the end of this time, water was added to the reaction mixture and the resulting mixture was extracted with methylene chloride. The resulting extract was washed consecutively with water and a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution and then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was then removed by evaporation under reduced pressure and the resulting residue was recrystallized from a mixed solvent of methylene chloride and hexane to give 104.5 mg (yield 55%) of the title compound as a solid having a melting point of 201° to 202° C.
