Procedure
A mixture of 51.6 g (0.3 mol) of 4-fluorophenacylchloride, 33.66 g (0.33 mol) of 2-aminothiazoline and 200 ml of ethanol was heated at reflux for 2 hours. The mixture was cooled to room temperature at which point 300 ml of water was added. After a reflux period of 2 hours, the mixture was concentrated to remove about 190 ml of aqueous alcohol. The pH of the residue was adjusted to about 2 with 10% hydrochloric acid (10 ml). The solid product was separated and dried to give 65.4 g (85%) of 6-(4-fluorophenyl)-2,3-dihydroimidazo[2,1-b]thiazole, m.p. 116-118°.
