[OH:1][CH2:2][C:3]1[S:7][CH:6]=[N:5][C:4]=1[CH:8]([CH3:10])[CH3:9]>C(Cl)(Cl)Cl.O=[Mn]=O>[CH:8]([C:4]1[N:5]=[CH:6][S:7][C:3]=1[CH:2]=[O:1])([CH3:10])[CH3:9]A mixture of 4.65 g (30 mmol) of crude 5-(hydroxymethyl)-4-isopropyl-thiazole in 200 mL of chloroform (CHCl3) was treated with 45 g of MnO2 and stirred at room temperature for 2.5 hours. The suspension was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel, eluting with 3:1 hexane:EtOAc, to give the title compound.
