Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a round bottomed flask equipped with a magnetic stir bar containing DCM (5 vol) is placed 4-((6-methoxybenzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)ethynyl)-N-methyl-2-nitroaniline (1 equiv). The reaction mixture is cooled to 0° C., BBr3 (5 equiv of 1M in DCM) is added dropwise and the reaction is stirred at RT for 8 hours. The reaction is neutralized with sat. NaHCO3, extracted into DCM (2×5 vol). The combined organic extracts are washed with water (5 vol), brine (5 vol), dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The residue is purified over silica gel using EtOAc:Hexanes (1:3) as an eluent to afford the desired product.
