Reaction Steps

To a solution of 7-acetyl-4-(benzyloxy)-1,3-benzothiazol-2(3H)-one (68 mg) in dry THF (3 ml) under nitrogen, was added phenyltrimethylammonium tribromide (90 mg) and the mixture heated at 80° C. under nitrogen for 2 h. The mixture was diluted with water, extracted with ethyl acetate, dried (MgSO4), filtered and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was purified on a 5 g silica SPE cartridge, eluting with stepped gradient of 10% to 100% ethyl acetate-cyclohexane mixtures, to give the title compound (49 mg).
