Structure
Crystals of 2-amino-6-fluoro-1,3-benzothiazole, C7H5FN2S, have an amphiphilic layer-like structure. Each amino substituent donates two protons to hydrogen bonds and accepts one. The ring N atoms accept one proton. The F atoms are not involved in any hydrogen bonds.
Chemical Properties
off-white to tan crystalline powder
Uses
2-Amino-6-fluorobenzothiazole is a useful research chemical. An intermediate for the synthesis of benzothiazoles and aminobenzothiazoles with antimicrobial activity.
Definition
ChEBI: 6-Fluoro-1,3-benzothiazol-2-amine is a member of benzothiazoles.
Application
2-Amino-6-fluorobenzothiazole (AFBT) can be used for:
(1) Interaction of AFBT with β-cyclodextrin (β-CDx) in aqueous and solid state. The proton transfer behaviour of AFBT in aqueous and β-CDx solutions was studied.
(2) Spectroscopic studies. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (4000-400 cm-1) and Fourier transform Raman spectroscopy (4000-100 cm-1) measurements were carried out on AFBT to investigate the effect of fluorine and amino groups on the backbone pattern and proton chemical shifts.
