Sodium Iodide → 3-(3-Iodopropyl)-3H-benzothiazol-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-(3-chloropropyl)benzo[d]thiazol-2(3H)-one (2.86 g, 12.56 mmol) in acetone (50 mL), was added sodium iodide (3.77 g, 25.12 mmol). After refluxing for 60 hours, the reaction mixture was filtered. The filtrate was washed with water and dried to obtain the title compound (3.85 g, 83%); 1H NMR (DMSO-d6): δ 2.13-2.16 (m, 2H), 3.28 (t, 2H, J=6.8 Hz), 4.05 (t, 2H, J=6.8 Hz), 7.18-7.22 (m, 1H), 7.38-7.39 (m, 2H), 7.66 (dt, 1H, J=7.6 and 0.8 Hz).
