Reaction Steps

A solution of 1.22 g of cerium ammonium nitrate (2.23 mmol, 2.1 equivalents) in 8 ml of water is added to 343 mg (1.06 mmol) of 2-(2,6-difluorophenyl)-5,7-dimethoxy-1,3-benzothiazol-4-amine in solution in 25 ml of ethyl acetate. The reaction mixture is maintained under vigorous stirring at ambient temperature for 1 hour 30 minutes then the organic phase is separated and washed with 3 times 20 ml of water, then dried over magnesium sulphate, filtered and the solvent is evaporated off under reduced pressure. The residue is purified by chromatography on a silica column (eluent: ethyl acetate/heptane: 3/7) and 280 mg (yield=86%) of 2-(2,6-difluorophenyl)-5-methoxy-1,3-benzothiazole-4,7-dione is obtained in the form of yellow powder.
