2-Aminothiophenol → 2-(2,5-Dimethoxyphenyl)benzo[d]thiazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Aminothiophenol (6.3 g., 0.05 mole) and 8.3 g (0.05 mole) of 2,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde were combined and mixed thoroughly. After a few minutes the mixture evolved heat, became cloudy, and slowly crystallized. The mixture was then warmed for a few minutes to complete the reaction. The product was then recrystallized from ethanol yielding 8.0 g (59%), mp. 96°-99°.
