Participants

Reaction Steps

0.1 m. Quantities of 2-amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzothiazole and α-bromoacetophenone in 100 ml. of chloroform are heated at reflux for 2 hours. After cooling, the solid is filtered off and slurred in 1 l. of water containing 40 g. of ammonium acetate. This suspension is heated to boiling over a 2-hour period and allowed to cool.
