Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-amino-4-trifluoromethylbenzenethiol hydrochloride (0.50 g), 2-methylsulfanylbenzaldehyde (0.33 g), diisopropylethylamine (0.28 g), and DMSO (4 ml) was heated to 170-180° C., and stirred with heating for 3 hours. Into the reaction mixture cooled to room temperature, water was poured, and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The resulting residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography to give 0.42 g of 2-(2-methylsulfanylphenyl)-5-trifluoromethylbenzothiazole (hereinafter referred to as Present Compound 84).
