2-Aminothiazole → 2-(4-Isopropylphenoxy)-1-nitrobenzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(4-Isopropylphenoxy)-1-nitrobenzene (0.95 g, 75%) was prepared from 4-isopropylphenol (0.68 g, 5.0 mmol) and 1-fluoro-2-nitrobenzene (0.71 g, 5.0 mmol) following the general procedure A. This was reduced to 2-(4-isopropylphenoxy)aniline (0.34 g, 60%, 2.5 mmol scale) following general procedure B. N-[2-(4-Isopropylphenoxy)phenyl]-N′-(thiazol-2-yl)urea (247 mg, 70%) was prepared from 2-(4-isopropylphenoxy)aniline (227 mg, 1.0 mmol) and 2-aminothiazole (100 mg, 1.0 mmol) following the general procedure D.
