Reaktionsschritte

A mixture of 2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethanethioamide (0.80 g), chloroacetaldehyde (40% aqueous solution, 2.88 g) and ethanol (20 mL) was heated under reflux for 15 hrs. Saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate was added to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography, and 2-(4-nitrobenzyl)-1,3-thiazole was obtained as an orange oil (0.35 g, yield 39%) from a fraction eluted with hexane-ethyl acetate (9:1-2:1, v/v).
