Potassium Carbonate → HCID 58797754, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-cyano-6-hydroxybenzothiazole (1.04 g) in 30 mL of acetone was added potassium carbonate (1.63 g), followed by α,α′-dibromo-m-xylene (4.7 g). The resultant solution was stirred at RT for 1 hour and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was resuspended in dichloromethane and washed with water. The aqueous phase was extracted with more dichloromethane (2×) and the organic extracts were combined, dried over sodium sulfate, and purified by flash chromatography using dichloromethane. 1.945 g of product was obtained.
