Economical and scalable synthesis of 6-amino-2-cyanobenzothiazole

Abstract: Summary2-Cyanobenzothiazoles (CBTs) are useful building blocks for: 1) luciferin derivatives for bioluminescent imaging; and 2) handles for bioorthogonal ligations. A particularly versatile CBT is 6-amino-2-cyanobenzothiazole (ACBT), which has an amine handle for straight-forward derivatisation. Here we present an economical and scalable synthesis of ACBT based on a cyanation catalysed by 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO), and discuss its advantages for scale-up over previously reported routes.

“…16 Palladium-catalyzed amination using xantphos as ligand 17,18 allowed synthesis of the morpholine analogue in 71% yield vs 12% for the S N Ar reaction (Scheme 2). Additionally, the thiomorpholine dioxide analogue was obtained in 74% yield, and the azetidine in 33% yield (low, but vastly improved over 2%).…”

“…Luciferin analogues are made with the same procedure by starting from a substituted cyanobenzothiazole. The synthesis of intermediate 46 was improved over the years and several procedures are available [ 57 , 58 , 59 ], the most popular involving the dehydration of a benzothiazole amide, a Sandmeyer reaction using a cyanide source or a Michael condensation with benzoquinone [ 59 ]. An interesting synthetic route towards cyanobenzothiazole 46 was reported by Prescher et al ( Scheme 8 B), starting from the condensation of p-methoxyaniline 48 43 with Appel’s salt 44, to generate thioformamide 45.…”
