Reaction Steps

A solution 6-bromobenzo[d]thiazol-2-amine (5.75 g, 25.1 mmol), hexane-2,5-dione (2.95 mL, 25.1 mmol), and PPTS (0.95 g, 3.76 mmol) in benzene (100 ml) was refluxed for 16 h while water was removed with a Dean-Stark trap. The cooled mixture was poured into EtOAc (100 mL) and extracted with saturated aq. NaHCO3 (2×100 mL) and brine. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel using 9:1 EtOAc:hexanes as the eluent to give the title compound as an orange oil (6.46 g, 84%).
