Triethylamine → N-(6-hydroxy-1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)cyclopropanecarboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-amino-1,3-benzothiazol-6-ol (9.03 g, 54.3 mmol) and triethylamine (8.27 mL, 59.7 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (100 mL) was added with stirring under ice-cooling a solution of cyclopropanecarbonyl chloride (5.19 mL, 57.0 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (25 mL), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hr. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and filtrated. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was collected by filtration and washed with hexane-ethyl acetate to give the title compound (12.3 g, 97%) as a white solid.
