(2-Ethyl-4-methyl-1,3-thiazol-5-yl)methanol → 5-Thiazolecarboxaldehyde, 2-ethyl-4-methyl-

Participants

Reaction Steps

Manganese dioxide (9.50 g, 109.3 mmol) was added to a solution of 2-ethyl-4-methylthiazole-5-methanol (Example 30; 0.86 g, 5.5 mmol) in dichloromethane (200 mL). The mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature for 72 h and then was filtered through Celite®. The filter cake was washed with dichloromethane (200 mL) and the combined filtrates were concentrated to give 2-ethyl-4-methylthiazole-5-carboxaldehyde (0.48 g, 57% yield) as a colorless oil.
