Participants

Reaction Steps

Methyl 3-[(dipropylamino)carbonyl]-5-(1,3-thiazol-2-yl)benzoate (4.4 g, 12.8 mmol) is dissolved in 1:1:1 tetrahydrofuran/methanol/water (60 mL), and lithium hydroxide monohydrate is added (1.1 g, 25.6 mmol), and the reaction stirred 15 min. The solution is concentrated under reduced pressure and diluted in chloroform. The solution is washed with water and saturated sodium bicarbonate, dried (magnesium sulfate), filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound. ESI MS m/z 333.1 [M+H]+.
