-g) benzothiazole has been synthesized in high yield (90%) by the action of
ammonium thiocyanate and bromine in glacial acetic acid on 6-aminoindazole. An
angular structure, based on NMR and mass spectral data, has been assigned to
the resulting heterocyclic amine. The amine was diazotized in phosphoric acid
(87%) and coupled with various coupling components in acetic acid-ethanol
cosolvent. The dyeing properties of the dyes obtained have been studied.</span
