Participants

Reaction Steps

To N-(4-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-thiazol-2-yl)-oxalamic acid ethyl ester (1 g) was added THF (5 mL) and 2 N lithium hydroxide (4 mL). A white precipitated formed and after 1 h the reaction mixture was acidified to pH5 and the white precipitate recovered by filtration, and triturated with a 1:1 mixture of ether and ethyl acetate to remove unreacted starting material. The solid residue was dried in a vacuum oven to give N-(4-ethoxycarbonylmethyl-thiazol-2-yl)-oxalamic acid (300 mg).
