Procedure

To a suspension of 6-nitrobenzo[d]thiazole (5 g, 27.7 mmol) in ethanol (45 mL) was added hydrazine hydrate (8.10 mL, 166 mmol). The resulting mixture (dark red) was stirred overnight at room temperature. The mixture was then acidified by the slow, careful addition of 3M HCl in water (50 mL). This mixture was further diluted with water (50 mL), and the resulting yellow/orange precipitate was extracted with dichloromethane (3×). The combined organics were dried, filtered, and concentrated, giving an orange solid (4.62 g, 98%). 1H NMR (DMSO-d6) δ 8.12-8.09 (m, 1H), 7.88-7.85 (m, 1H), 6.75-6.71 (m, 1H), 6.28 (brs, 2H); ESI-MS (m/z, %): 170 (MH+, 100).
