TCI B6388, 1,3-benzothiazol-2-ylacetonitrile (CAS 56278-50-3), is an active-methylene heterocyclic building block in which the CH2 group is flanked by a benzothiazole ring and a nitrile. This acidity makes it an excellent partner for Knoevenagel condensations that yield strongly conjugated, often highly coloured products. Such adducts are widely explored as dyes, fluorophores, and push-pull materials for optoelectronic research, while the nitrile itself can be converted into amides, tetrazoles, or amines. Offered in 1 g and 5 g packs, the solid should be stored cool, dry, tightly closed, and away from strong acids, bases, and oxidisers.
