Participants

Reaction Steps

In a solution of 2.5 g of potassium hydroxide in 90% methanol was suspended 2 g of 2-(p-acetoxyphenyl)imidazo-[2,1-b]benzothiazole and the suspension was stirred for one hour at 40°-50° C., thereby the additive was completely dissolved. Then, 3 ml of acetic acid was gradually added dropwise to the reaction mixture with stirring, thereby crystals precipitated. The crystals were recovered by filtration, washed with water and then methanol, and dried to provide 1.5 g of 2-(p-hydroxyphenyl)imidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazole.
