2-Bromo-1-indanone → 2-phthalimidomethyl-8H-indeno[1,2-d]thiazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 100 ml of isopropanol, 1.64 g of 2-bromo-1-indanone was dissolved. Then, 2.0 g of phthalimidothioacetamide was added, followed by heating under reflux for 6 hours. The precipitate thus formed was collected by filtration and then distributed between chloroform and a saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate. The organic layer was separated, washed successively with water and a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride, and then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was then evaporated, whereby 1.3 g of 2-phthalimidomethyl-8H-indeno[1,2-d]thiazole was obtained.
