Isoamyl Nitrite → Methyl benzo[d]thiazole-7-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Isoamyl nitrite (22.0 mmol) is added to a solution of 2-amino-benzothiazole-7-carboxylic acid methyl ester (10.1 mmol) in THF (29 mL). The mixture is heated to reflux for 4 h, the solvents are removed in vacuo and the residue is purified by flash chromatography (gradient: heptane to EtOAc/heptane 4/6) to give the desired product. LC-MS: tR=0.85 min; [M+H]+=194.0.
