Reaction Steps

To a dry 25-ml round-bottomed flask containing acetone (5 mL), anhydrous potassium carbonate (1.2 g, 8.4 mmol), and prenyl bromide (839 microliters, 7.3 mmole) was added 6-hydroxy-2-cyanobenzothiazole (1.0 g, 5.6 mmol). The mixture was refluxed under argon with stirring. Reaction progress was monitored by TLC analysis, developing with 2:1 heptane-ethyl acetate. After 28 h, the potassium carbonate was filtered from the cooled reaction mixture. The solution was concentrated in vacuo to yield 1.7 g of solid. The solid was further purified by flash chromatography using 9:1 heptane-ethyl acetate and gradually stepping to 4:1 heptane-ethyl acetate. Appropriate fractions were pooled and evaporated to yield 0.8 g of solid. The structure was confirmed by 1H NMR analysis in DMSO-d6.
