Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

2-Bromo-6-benzothiazolecarboxylic acid (0.500 g, 1.94 mmol) was suspended in dichloromethane/methanol (12 ml, 6:1) and cooled to 0° C. with an ice-water bath. Then, 2M (trimethylsilyl)diazomethane (2.91 ml, 5.81 mmol) was added dropwise over 5 min. The resulting mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred at room temperature for 2 hrs. The resulting mixture was concentrated in vacuo to yield methyl 2-bromobenzo[d]thiazole-6-carboxylate.
