Uses
2-Amino-6-bromobenzothiazole may be used in the synthesis of the following
- 2-amino-6-arylbenzothiazole compounds:
- 6-p-tolylbenzo[d]thiazole-2-amine
- 6-(4chlorophenyl)benzo[d]thiazole-2-amine
- 6-(4-methoxyphenyl)benzo[d]thiazole-2-amine
- 6-(3,5-bis(triflouromethyl)phenyl)benzo[d]thiazole-2-amine
- 6-phenylbenzo[d]thiazole-2-amine
It may be employed as a ligand (L) in the synthesis of organometallic derivatives of Rh(I) [Rh(CO)
2(L)(Cl)].
General Description
Reaction of 4-bromoaniline with acetic acid and potassium thiocynate in solution of bromine in acetic acid yields 2-amino-6-bromobenzothiazole. 2-Amino-6-bromobenzothiazole can also be synthesized from 2-aminobenzothiazole via monobromination with silica-supported quinolinium tribromide.
