Dichloromethane → 6,6-Difluoro-5-methyl-5-hexenyl benzothiazole-2-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 4 ml of dichloromethane were dissolved 0.24 g (1.3 mmol) of benzothiazole-2-carboxylic acid, manufactured by a method described in “J. Amer. Chem. Soc.”, page 2328 (1949), 0.17 g (1.1 mmol) of 6,6-difluoro-5-methyl-5-hexenol and 0.13 g (1.1 mmol) of dimethylaminopyridine, followed by the addition of 0.38 g (2.0 mmol) of N-ethyl-N′-3-dimethyl-aminopropylcarbodiimide (WSC) hydrochloric acid salt at room temperature and stirring at the same temperature for 20 hours. The reaction liquid was then poured in water and extracted with dichloromethane. The organic layer was washed with water and a saturated saline solution in this order, followed by drying over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentration under reduced pressure. The residue was purified with silica gel column chromatography (ethyl acetate:hexane=1:6) to obtain 0.15 g (yield: 43%) of 6,6-difluoro-5-methyl-5-hexenyl benzothiazole-2-carboxylate.
