Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3.54 g of 2-chloroacetamidothiazol-4-yl N-chloroacetylglycine ethyl ester in 30 ml of ethanol is added dropwise a solution of 1.68 g of potassium hydroxide in 15 ml of water under ice-cooling, followed by the stirring for 15 minutes. Ethanol is distilled under reduced pressure and the residue is made acidic with 10% hydrochloric acid, followed by the extraction with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer is washed with water and dried. The distillation of ethyl acetate gives 2.38 g of 2-chloroacetamidothiazol-4-yl N-chloroacetylglycine as colorless crystals. Melting point: 184°-186° C.
