Synthesis
General procedure: Benzo[d]thiazol-6-amine (100 mg, 0.67 mmol) was dissolved in 6 mL of chloroform, and a chloroform solution (10 mL) of bromine (42 mg, 0.27 mmol) was slowly added dropwise for about 15 minutes. After completion of the reaction, the mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by crystallization through a solvent mixture of dichloromethane and methanol (5:1, v/v) to afford 7-bromobenzo[d]thiazol-6-amine (80 mg, 80% yield).
