Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirring solution of 24.45 g. of 2-amino-6-n-propyloxybenzothiazole-hydrochloride in 100 ml of pyridine maintained at 0° C by an ice bath, is slowly added 9.45 g. of methyl chloroformate. After the addition is completed the mixture is allowed to warm up to room temperature. It is then poured on 300 g. of ice water. A solid is formed which is isolated by filtration and crystallized from ethanol to yield 20 g., m.p. 178°-180° C.
