Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To the solution of 7-chloro-2-(methylthio)benzo[d]thiazol-6-ol (80 mg, 0.346 mmol, 1.0 eq) in 1 mL of NMP was added 4-chloro-N-methylpicolinamide (88 mg, 0.519 mmol, 1.5 eq) and cesium carbonate (281 mg, 0.865 mmol, 2.5 eq) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred at 85° C. for >48 hours till ca. 75%-80% completion, thereafter the mixture was diluted with water (ca. 50 mL) and aqueous layer extracted with ethyl acetate (ca. 50 mL×3). Combined organic layers were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and condensed under reduced pressure to give crude product which was purified on ISCO using gradient 0%-100% ethyl acetate-hexane mixture to give 64 mg of product in 50% yield. LC/MS (m/z) [366.0] (MH+)
