Reaction Steps

To a suspension of N-(4-methyl-5-(4-methylpyridin-2-yl)thiazol-2-yl)-N′-benzoylthiourea (700 mg) in methanol (7 ml) was added an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (1N, 1.9 ml) dropwise. The mixture was stirred at 60° C. for 1 hour, cooled to ambient temperature, and the pH was adjusted to 8.0 with 1N hydrochloric acid. The mixture was diluted with water (50 ml) and stirred for 5 minutes. The precipitate was collected by filtration, washed with water and diisopropyl ether and dried under reduced pressure to give N-(4-methyl-5-(4-methylpyridin-2-yl)thiazol-2-yl)thiourea (438 mg).
