Dimethylformamide → N-(6-amino-1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)benzamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of N-(6-nitrobenzothiazol-2-yl)benzamide (3.77 g, 12.6 mmol), palladium on charcoal (2 g, 10% Pd, 1.88 mmol Pd), dimethyl formamide (80 mL) and ethyl acetate (20 mL) was hydrogenated (1 bar) for 2 h at 60° C. The palladium was removed by filtration through a pad of celite. After concentration to 20 mL, water was added and the resulting precipitate was separated by filtration to obtain N-(6-aminobenzothiazol-2-yl)-benzamide (3.15 g, 11.7 mmol, 93%) as a grey solid. LC/ESI-MS: m/z=270 [M+H]+; m/z=268 [M−H]−; Rt=2.27 min.
