Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-chloro-6-fluoro-benzothiazole (0.65 g, 3.5 mmol) and 4-bromoaniline (0.61 g, 3.5 mmol) in n-butanol (6 mL) was heated at 60-70° C. under nitrogen to obtain a solution, to which 4 M HCl in dioxane (0.43 mL, 1.73 mmol) was slowly added dropwise. The reaction mixture was then heated at 90° C. for 18 h. Upon cooling to rt, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting solid was triturated with ethanol and collected by filtration. This yielded 0.98 g (88%) of the title compound. LC/MS m/z 323.0 (MH+); retention time 3.74 min. 1H NMR (CD3OD) δ 7.10-7.30 (m, 1H), 7.39 (d, 1H), 7.45 (d, 2H), 7.58-7.61 (m, 3H).
