Participants

Reaction Steps

The title compound was prepared as a mixture (60/40) with the 5-hydroxy isomer in the deprotection of 2-carbamoyl-7-methoxybenzothiazole (obtained in Preparation 4 below) with pyridine.HCl, according to the method described in Preparation 1. The mixture of the 5- and 7-hydroxybenzothiazoles was used directly in the preparation of the isomeric glycidyl ethers which were readily separable by chromatography on silica (2% CH3CN/CH2Cl2).
