Hydrochloric Acid → 2-(2-Aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-cyclopropyloxyiminoacetic acid hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-cyclopropyloxyimino-2-(2-formamidothiazol-4-yl) acetic acid (syn isomer) (255 mg) and conc. hydrochloric acid (0.21 ml) in methanol (1.3 ml) was stirred at 30° to 32° C. for 1.5 hours. The mixture was concentrated in vacuo, triturated with diisopropyl ether, diethyl ether and ethyl acetate in turn. The resultant solid was dried over phosphorus pentoxide to give 2-(2-aminothiazol-4-yl)-2-cyclopropyloxyiminoacetic acid hydrochloride (syn isomer) (265 mg).
