Triethylamine → 2-(4-Morpholinylcarbonyl)-1,3-thiazol-5-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirring mixture of methyl 4-morpholinyl(oxo)ethanedithioate (Preparation 25, 500 mg) and aminoacetonitrile bisulfate (564 mg) in MeOH (10 mL) at 0° C. is added triethylamine in MeOH (5 mL). The mixture is stirred overnight and allowed to warm to ambient temperature. The solution is filtered, and solvent removed from the filtrate. The residue is washed with water (15 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (3×20 mL), dried over MgSO4, and the solvent removed. The residue is purified by SiO2 flash column chromatography (eluent 3/1 EtOAc/hexane) to afford 161 mg (31%) of the title compound as a light brown solid. Physical characteristics: 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 3.78, 4.35, 7.05; IR (diffuse reflectance) 3321, 3217, 2858, 1580, 1438, 1418, 1348, 1276, 1178, 1113, 1003, 834, 783, 731, 619 cm−1; MS (ESI+) m/z 214 (M+H)+. Anal. Found: C, 45.24; H, 5.33; N, 19.42.
