Benzothiazole, 5,6-diamino-2-methyl- (6CI)

Description:

Benzothiazole, 5,6-diamino-2-methyl- (6CI), with the CAS number 101258-09-7, is an organic compound characterized by its fused benzothiazole ring structure, which incorporates both a benzene and a thiazole moiety. This compound features two amino groups at the 5 and 6 positions and a methyl group at the 2 position of the benzothiazole ring, contributing to its unique chemical properties. It is typically a solid at room temperature and may exhibit moderate solubility in polar solvents. The presence of amino groups makes it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including coupling reactions and as a building block in the synthesis of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. Additionally, benzothiazole derivatives are known for their biological activity, which may include antimicrobial and antifungal properties. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with many organic compounds, potential hazards may be associated with its use.
