4-methylaniline in chlorobenzene reacted with sulphuric acid, sodium thiocyanate and sulfuryl chloride to give 2-amino-6-methyl benzothiazole. This 2-amino-6-methyl benzothiazole was later further reacted with 2-chloro-5-chloromethylthiazole in the presence of N, N'-dimethyl formamide (DMF) and anhydrous potassium carbonate (K2CO3) to afford N,N-bis((2-chlorothiazole-5-yl)methyl)-6-methylbenzo(d)thiazol-2-amine.
