Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

132 Parts of sodium hydrogen sulphide were dissolved in 400 parts of water, and stirred at 20° C. 53 Parts of 6-nitro-2-mercaptobenzothiazole, prepared as described previously herein, was added over 10 minutes; the reaction mixture was then heated to 110° C., and stirred whilst boiling the mixture under reflux conditions. After four hour boiling, the mixture was cooled to between 0° and 5° C. and stirred for one hour. The product, 6-amino-2-mercaptobenzothiazole, (30.3 parts) was isolated by filtration, washed sparingly with cold water and dried at 60° C. for 24 hours.
