Reaction Steps

1-Bromopyrrolidine-2,5-dione (0.48 g, 2.67 mmol) was added to the solution of N-(thiazol-4-yl)acetamide (0.38 g, 2.67 mmol) in AcOH/THF (10 mL/10 mL). The mixture was heated to 25° C. for 2 h. The solvent was removed and the solution was adjusted to pH˜9 with 2 N NaOH solution. It was extracted with EA (3×50 mL), the combined organic phase was washed with brine, dried with Na2SO4 and concentrated to give the title compound (1.32 g, 1.45 mmol, 54.2%) as light yellow solid.
