Thiazole → 2,2-dimethoxy-5-methyl-6-(3-ethoxycarbonyl-2,3-dihydro-2-thiazolyl)-2H-1,4-thiazin

Participants

Reaction Steps

Ethyl chloroformate (1.0 g) was added dropwise to a stirred solution of thiazole (0.79 g) in dichloromethane (10 ml) under ice-cooling and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 0.5 hour. Then, 2,2-dimethoxy-5-methyl-2H-1,4-thiazin-3(4H)-one (1.47 g) was added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. The solution was washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated to dryness. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel (Merck Lobar column size B: Art.10401, solvent: ethyl acetate-n-hexane=2:3) to give 2,2-dimethoxy-5-methyl-6-(3-ethoxycarbonyl-2,3-dihydro-2-thiazolyl)-2H-1,4-thiazin-(4H-one (510 mg, yield 19%) as colorless prisms.
