Preparation of 2-Aminobenzothiazoles by Electrogenerated Thiocyanogen

Abstract

2-Aminobenzothiazoles [2] were prepared by the reaction of electrogenerated thiocyanogen with aromatic amines [1], Electrochemical reaction was carried out by passing 5F/mol electricity under a constant current in aqueous acetic acid containing ammonium thiocyanate at 5∼10°C.
