Description

Ethyl 1,3-benzothiazol-2-ylacetate is a coumarin derivative that has been shown to be active against tuberculosis. It inhibits bacterial growth by binding to the gyrase enzyme and preventing the formation of a new DNA strand. The synthesis of ethyl 1,3-benzothiazol-2-ylacetate starts with the condensation of 2 molecules of acetoacetic ester in the presence of an acid catalyst. This reaction takes place in vivo in animal tissues and is catalyzed by enzymes such as gyrase or topoisomerase IV. The reaction time for this synthesis is typically 3 hours. Ethyl 1,3-benzothiazol-2-ylacetate emits fluorescent emissions at a wavelength of 330 nanometers.
