2-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.
2-氰基苯并噻唑(CBTs)是用于以下方面的有用构建模块:1)用于生物发光成像的萤光素衍生物;2)生物正交连接的连接基团。一种特别通用的CBT是6-氨基-2-氰基苯并噻唑(ACBT),它具有一个便于直接衍生化的胺基连接基团。在此,我们展示了一种基于1,4-二氮杂双环[2.2.2]辛烷(DABCO)催化的氰化反应的ACBT经济且可扩展的合成方法,并讨论了其相对于先前报道的路线在放大生产方面的优势。
