Formaldehyde → 3-(3,5-Dichloro-4-methoxybenzoyl)-5-trifluoromethyl-2,3-dihydro-1,3-benzothiazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-amino-4-trifluoromethylbenzenethiol hydrochloride (502 mg), and 5-trifluoromethyl-2,3-dihydro-1,3-benzothiazole synthesized from 37% formalin (0.18 mL) and triethylamine (0.30 mL) in the same manner as in Example 38 were dissolved in dichloromethane (5 mL), and triethylamine (0.30 mL) and 3,5-dichloro-4-methoxybenzoyl chloride (354 mg) were added to the solution, and then the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. Water was added and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with 1N hydrochloric acid, 1N sodium hydroxide and saturated brine, and then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure and the obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (n-hexane:ethyl acetate=8:1) to obtain the title compound (223 mg) as a colorless oily substance.
