Participants

Reaction Steps

5.8 g of mixed lithium aluminum hydride were added with stirring under a nitrogen atmosphere to 150 ml of anhydrous ether and a solution of 15.1 g of ethyl 2-propyl-thiazole-5-carboxylate in 30 ml of anhydrous ether was added thereto dropwise. The mixture was stirred for 2 hours, cooled and then 20 ml of ethyl acetate followed by 20 ml of water were added. The organic phase was decanted after filtering off the precipitate formed and the ether phase was dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure. The residue was distilled to obtain 6.2 g of 2-propyl-thiazole-5-methanol with a boiling point of 86°C at 0.01 mmHg. The product could be used to fill capsules with 500 mg of the said product and sufficient polyoxyethyleneglycol to fill the capsules.
