Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 6-nitro-3-methyl-2-benzothiazolinone (J. Heterocyclic Chem. 1992, 29, 1069-1076, 4.85 g, 23.1 mmol) and 10% palladium-on-carbon (491 mg, 0.461 mmol) in a mixture of MeOH (45 mL) and tetrahydrofuran (45 mL) is shaken under a 40 psi hydrogen atmosphere on a Parr apparatus for 17 h. The catalyst is removed by filtration through a pad of Celite, and the filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure and triturated with ethyl acetate/hexanes. Filtration then provides the title compound, mp 188-190° C.; MS (ESI+) for C8H8N2OS m/z 181 (M+H)+.
