2-Amino-6-methoxybenzothiazole is an intermediate used to prepare novel series of Schiff bases and 4-thiazolidinones. It is also used in the synthesis of 2-cyano-6-methoxybenzothiazole.
off-white to tan-coloured powder
2-Amino-6-methoxybenzothiazole was used as building block in the syntheses of novel series of Schiff bases and 4-thiazolidinones. It was used in the synthesis of 2-cyano-6-methoxybenzothiazole, key intermediate for the synthesis of firefly luciferin.
Fine off-white to light tan powder.
2-Amino-6-methoxybenzothiazole may be sensitive to exposure to light. 2-Amino-6-methoxybenzothiazole is incompatible with strong oxidizers.
Flash point data for 2-Amino-6-methoxybenzothiazole are not available; however, 2-Amino-6-methoxybenzothiazole is probably combustible.
