Abstract
Abstract A process for the production of a 2-amino-benzothiazole having the formula: ##STR1## wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 are the same or different and are hydrogen, halogen, alkyl or alkoxy. A phenylthiourea having the formula: ##STR2## wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 are defined as above, is added to a cyclization agent in the absence of a solvent and allowing the phenylthiourea to cyclize to form 2-amino-benzothiazole in salt form. Filtering the salt of the 2-amino-benzothiazole out of the reaction mixture.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
175 words
A process for the production of a salt of a 2-amino-benzothiazole having the formula: ##STR5## wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 are the same or different and are hydrogen, halogen, alkyl having 1 to 10 carbon atoms or alkoxy having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, which comprises (a) adding a phenylthiourea having the formula: ##STR6## wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 are defined as above, to a cyclization agent in the absence of a solvent and allowing said phenylthiourea to cyclize to form said 2-amino-benzothiazole in salt form, said cyclization step (a) being conducted for between 1 and 10 hours at a temperature between 30° and 100° C., said cyclization agent being a halogen, a sulfur halide, a sulfoxy halide, SbI 5 , SbF f or SbCl 5 , and said cyclization agent being present in an amount which is at least 6 times its stoichiometric amount, and (b) filtering said salt of said 2-amino-benzothiazole out of the reaction mixture of step (a).
