Reaktionsschritte

To a stirred solution of 2-bromo-6-methoxybenzothiazole (0.67 g) in dry dichloromethane (30 ml) at ambient temperature under an atmosphere of nitrogen was added dropwise a solution of boron tribromide in dichloromethane (5.5 ml, 1M). The mixture was stirred for 2 hours at ambient temperature, stored for 2 days then poured into water. The organic phase was separated, washed with water, dried over magnesium sulphate then evaporated under reduced pressure to give 2-bromo-6-hydroxybenzothiazole as a pale pink solid, 0.60 g, m.p. 203-204° C.
