Potassium Carbonate → N-(8H-Indeno[1,2-d]thiazol-2-yl)-isonicotinamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 8H-Indeno[1,2-d]thiazol-2-ylamine 1b (Prepared in Example 1, Step 2, 640 mg; 3.4 mmol) and potassium carbonate (5.40 g; 39.1 mmol) in dry tetrahydrofuran (20 mL) under nitrogen was added isonicotinoyl chloride hydrochloride (959 mg; 5.10 mmol). The slurry was then heated to reflux for 18 hr. At this point, potassium carbonate (5.40 g; 39.1 mmol) and isonicotinoyl chloride hydrochloride (959 mg; 5.10 mmol) were added and reflux continued for 22 hr., then allowed to cool to room temperature. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue diluted with water and extracted with methylene chloride. The insoluble material was filtered off and washed methylene chloride and water and finally triturated with diethyl ether to provide 253 mg of N-(8H-Indeno[1,2-d]thiazol-2-yl)-isonicotinamide 8. EI-HRMS m/e calcd for C16H11N3OS (M+) 293.0623, found 293.0621.
