Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of [2-(3H-Imidazol-4-yl)-ethyl]-(6-nitro-benzothiazol-2-yl)-amine (Example 23(b), 80 mg, 0.28 mmol) in ethanol (5 mL) and THF (1.5 mL) was added tin(II) chloride dihydrate (312 mg, 5 eq.). The mixture was heated at reflux for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, diluted with ethyl acetate (50 mL) then treated with 2 M aqueous NaOH (20 mL). The organic layer was separated, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated to give a yellow residue. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (10–15% 2M ammonia/methanol in CH2Cl2) to give the final product (41 mg, 56%). 1H NMR (CD3OD) δ: 7.65 (s, 1H), 7.23 (d, 1H, 8.5 Hz), 6.98 (d, 1H, J=1.8 Hz), 6.91 (s, 1H), 6.72 (dd, 1H, J=1.8, 8.5 Hz), 3.64 (t, 2H, J=7.3 Hz), 2.95 (t, 2H, J=7.3 Hz).
