Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of N-(6-hydroxy-1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)cyclopropanecarboxamide (1.53 g, 6.53 mmol) and potassium carbonate (3.72 g, 26.9 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (50 mL) were added 1-fluoro-3-nitrobenzene (1.08 g, 7.65 mmol) and 18-crown-6 (1.07 g, 4.05 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at 150° C. for 14 hr. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, and added to a mixed solvent (1:1, 300 mL) of ethyl acetate and hexane. The mixture was washed with water (200 mL) and saturated brine (200 mL), successively, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The insoluble material was collected by filtration, and the residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography using ethyl acetate and hexane (1:1) as an eluent to give the title compound (840 mg, 36%) as a pale-yellow solid.
