Potassium Carbonate → 5-Ethynyl-4-phenyl-thiazol-2-ylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To the above prepared 4-phenyl-5-trimethylsilanylethynyl-thiazol-2-ylamine (1.070 g, 3.927 mmol), dissolved in 14 mL of MeOH, was added K2CO3 (0.814 g, 1.5 eq.)) and the mixture was stirred for 2 h at ambient temperature. Pouring onto crashed ice/NH4Cl, twofold extraction with ethyl acetate, washing with water and brine, drying over sodium sulfate, and evaporation to dryness, followed by flash chromatography (SiO2, hexane/ethyl acetate=7/3), gave 0.667 g of the title compound as dark brown viscous oil.
