Sodium hydride → 6-chloro-N-isopropylthiazolo[4,5-c]pyridin-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4,6-dichloropyridin-3-amine (0.50 g, 3.07 mmol, 1.0 eq.) and isopropyl isothiocyanate (0.33 mL, 3.10 mmol, 1.0 eq.) in DMF under nitrogen at 0° C. was added NaH (60% in mineral oil, 0.194 g, 4.85 mmol, 1.6 eq.). After 10 min., the cold bath was removed, and the reaction mixture was stirred to room temperature for 10 min. It was then heated at 65° C. for 1 hr and cooled to room temperature. At 0° C., aqueous HCl (1 N), water and EtOAc were added, and the reaction mixture was stirred. The layers were separated, and the organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 and brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. Silica gel chromatography using CH2Cl2:MeOH (100:1) as eluent afforded 6-chloro-N-isopropylthiazolo[4,5-c]pyridin-2-amine as a white solid (0.43 g, 61% yield).
