Substituted benzothiazoles play an important role in medicinal chemistry due to their pharmacological properties. Their 2-substituted derivatives are often prepared from 2-chlorobenzothiazoles, which in turn can be synthesized from the 2-mercapto precursor using sulfuryl chloride. In practice, this seemingly straightforward and widely used reaction can be impeded by poor reproducibility and low reaction yields. In this communication, we report that the simple addition of water to the reaction leads to remarkable improvements in reaction efficiency. We attribute this effect to the formation of acid through partial hydrolysis of sulfuryl chloride. This hypothesis is supported by the observation that improved yields were also obtained in the presence of some anhydrous acidic additives. The simple combination of sulfuryl chloride and water reproducibly provides excellent yields for a range of chlorinated products.

The mechanism (or mechanisms) of enthalpy-entropy (H/S) compensation in protein-ligand binding remains controversial, and there are still no predictive models (theoretical or experimental) in which hypotheses of ligand binding can be readily tested. Here we describe a particularly well-defined system of protein and ligands - human carbonic anhydrase (HCA) and a series of benzothiazole sulfonamide ligands with different patterns of fluorination - that we use to define enthalpy/entropy (H/S) compensation in this system thermodynamically and structurally. The binding affinities of these ligands (with the exception of one ligand, in which the deviation is understood) to HCA are, despite differences in fluorination pattern, indistinguishable; they nonetheless reflect significant and compensating changes in enthalpy and entropy of binding. Analysis reveals that differences in the structure and thermodynamic properties of the waters surrounding the bound ligands are an important contributor to the observed H/S compensation. These results support the hypothesis that the molecules of water filling the active site of a protein, and surrounding the ligand, are as important as the contact interactions between the protein and the ligand for biomolecular recognition, and in determining the thermodynamics of binding.
