Reaction Steps

To the solution of 2-methylsulfanyl-benzothiazol-6-ol (3.76 g, 19.08 mmol, 1.0 eq) in DMF (25 mL), was added CsCO3 (15.54 g, 47.70 mmol, 2.5 eq) at room temperature. After stirring for a while, 4-chloro-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid methylamide (4.86 g, 28.62 mmol, 1.5 eq) was added to the mixture and the mixture was stirred at 70° C. under reflux condenser overnight. After cooling the reaction mixture in ice bath, water (100 mL) was added and the aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×150 mL). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and evaporated in vacuo. The crude product was purified using 20 g of ISCO Silica Gel column (0%-50%-80%-100% ethyl acetate-hexane mixture over 45 min 40 mL/min run) to yield 4-(2-methylsulfanyl-benzothiazol-6-yloxy)-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid methylamide (3.88 g, 62%) as a white solid.
