Ethanol → 2-(Pyridin-2-yl)-1,3-thiazole-4-carboxylic acid

참여 물질

반응 단계

Amino-2-pyridylmethane-1-thione (1.88 g, 0.0136 mol), ethyl bromopyruvate (1.80 mL, 0.0143 mol) and EtOH (30 mL) were combined and heated to reflux. GC/MS of reaction mixture after 3 h showed total consumption of the starting materials. After cooling to RT, the solvent was removed under vacuum resulting in a dark brown oil (GC/MS m/z: 235 (M+H); GC Retention time: 10.69 min). The material was taken up in MeOH (20 mL), 1.0M LiOH—H2O (20 mL) was added and the mixture was heated to 100° C. for 14 h. After cooling to RT, the excess MeOH was evaporated and the resulting brown solid filtered. The material was washed with a minimum of H2O and dried in vacuo to give the thiazole as a brown solid.
