Uses
2-Cyano-6-methoxybenzothiazole is a key intermediate in the synthesis of fireflys’ luciferol, the light emitting chemical. Also a reactant in the preparation of 1,2,4-Oxadiazole EthR inhibitors used in the effort to improve the sensitivity of the human pathogen mycobacterium tuberculosis. Luciferin intermediate. 2-Cyano-6-methoxybenzothiazole has been used in the synthesis of:firefly luciferin via condensation with cysteineluciferin β-glycosides, substrates for novel ultrasensitive enzyme assays
