Reaktionsschritte

4.5 g of cyanoacetic acid and 5.3 g of 2-aminothiazole, each in acetonitrile were combined, and the suspension (60 ml) was treated with a solution of 12.0 g of dicyclohexylcarbodiimide in 30 ml of acetonitrile. After exothermic reaction (and solidification) additional acetonitrile (60 ml) was added and the mixture stirred 1 hr and let stand overnight. The collected solid (20 g) was stirred with dilute (ca. 2%) NaOH solution and filtered. The filtrate was acidified with 6 N HCl and the product collected, washed with water, dried (m.p. 229°-230°) and recrystallized from acetone to give 2-(cyanoacetylamino)thiazole, m.p. 231°-2° dec.
