Acetic Acid → 5-Iodo-4-phenyl-thiazol-2-ylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Phenyl-thiazol-2-ylamine (0.881 g, 5.00 mmol) was dissolved in 10 mL of CH2Cl2 and 2 mL of acetic acid and treated at 0° C. with iodine monochloride (5.25 mL of 1M in CH2Cl2, 1.05 eq.) and kept at this temperature for 0.5 h. Pouring onto crashed ice/Na2CO3, twofold extraction with ethyl acetate, washing with water and brine, drying over sodium sulfate, and evaporation to dryness produced 1.60 g of the title compound as dark brown gum, sufficiently pure to be used for the next step.
