Participants

Reaction Steps

To 700 ml of acetic acid was added 14 g of 2-(p-chlorophenyl)imidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazole and after adding thereto 5 g of sodium nitrite with stirring at room temperature, the mixture was stirred for 3 hours. Thereafter, 500 ml of water was added to the mixture and the crystals thus formed were recovered by filtration and washed with water, then n-hexane, and further with 400 ml of chloroform to provide 10 g of 2-(p-chlorophenyl)-3-nitrosoimidazo[2,1-b]benzothiazole. The product was recrystallized from chloroform to provide crystals having a melting point of 203°-206° C.
