Potassium Carbonate → 6-(4-(4-Fluorophenyl)oxazol-5-yl)benzo[d]thiazol-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-aminobenzo[d]thiazole-6-carbaldehyde (0.91 g, 5.11 mmol, 1.0 eq.), 1-((4-fluorophenyl)(isocyano)methylsulfonyl)-4-methylbenzene (2.20 g, 7.60 mmol, 1.5 eq.), and K2CO3 (1.34 g, 9.70 mmol, 1.9 eq.) in EtOH (51 mL) was refluxed for 4 h. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo, and the residue was taken up in CH2Cl2 and saturated aqueous NaHCO3. After separation of the layers, the aqueous layer was extracted with CH2Cl2 (2×). The organic layers were combined, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. Silica gel chromatography using CH2Cl2:MeOH (40:1) as eluent afforded 6-(4-(4-fluorophenyl)oxazol-5-yl)benzo[d]thiazol-2-amine as a tan solid (1.37 g, 86% yield).
