Hydrochloric Acid → Naphtho(1,2-d)thiazol-2-amine, 4,5-dihydro-N-(2-(4-morpholinyl)ethyl)-, dihydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

3.66 g of N-benzoyl-N'-(morpholinoethyl)thiourea are refluxed in 17.5 ml of a 2.5N solution of sodium hydroxide under a nitrogen atmosphere for 15 minutes. After cooling, concentrated hydrochloric acid is added until the pH is 7. A solution of 3 g of 2-bromo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-one in 20 ml of ethanol is added and the mixture is refluxed for 1 hour. After evaporation of the solvent, the residue is neutralized by the addition of sodium bicarbonate and extraction is carried out twice with methylene chloride. The organic phase is dried over magnesium sulfate and chromatographed on a silica column by elution with a methylene chloride/methanol mixture (95/5 vol/vol).
