Triethylamine → [5-(2-Fluoro-4-pyridyl)-4-(3-methylphenyl)-1,3-thiazol-2-yl]amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Bromine (1.9 mL, 37 mmol) was added to a solution of 2-(2-fluoro-4-pyridyl)-1-(3-methylphenyl)ethanone (8.5 g, 37 mmol) in acetic acid (50 mL) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was concentrated. Triethylamine (5.2 mL, 37 mmol) was added to a mixture of this residue and thiourea (3.0 g, 40 mmol) in acetonitrile (50 mL) and the mixture was stirred at 80° C. for 2 hours. A saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogencarbonate (50 mL) was added to the reaction mixture and the precipitated solid was collected by filtration. After the resulting solid was washed with water, it was dried. The crude crystals were recrystallized from ethanol to obtain 3.7 g (yield 35%) of the title compound.
