Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

22 μl (128 μmol; 2 equivalents) of diisopropylethylamine, 21 mg (64 μmol; 1 equivalent) of 5-[(3-bromopropyl)amino]-2-methyl-1,3-benzothiazole-4,7-dione and a spatula tip's worth of sodium iodide are added to 23.6 mg (64 μmol) of 5-({3-[(4-methoxybenzyl)amino]propyl}amino)-2-methyl-1,3-benzothiazole-4,7-dione dissolved in 5 ml of acetonitrile. The reaction mixture is maintained under stirring under microwaves at 165° C. for 15 minutes, then the solvent is evaporated off under reduced pressure and the reaction residue is taken up in dichloromethane, followed by washing with 3 times 50 ml of water. The organic phases are combined, dried over magnesium sulphate and the solvent is evaporated off under reduced pressure. The expected product is purified by chromatography on a silica column (eluent: dichloromethane/methanol: 93/7) and obtained in the form of a red oil.
