Reaction Steps

DMF (1 drop) was added to a solution of 1-naphthoic acid (900 mg) in THF (10 ml), followed by addition of oxayly chloride (0.49 ml) and stirring at room temperature for 2 hours. After replacing the solvent with acetone (10 ml), a solution of ammonium thiocyanate (436 mg) in acetone (5 ml) was added to the solution, followed by heating over a warm water bath for 1 minute and stirring at room temperature for 20 minutes. Then, a solution of 2-amino-4-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-naphthyl)thiazole (1,00 g) in acetone (10 ml) was added to the mixed solution, which was then stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The reaction solution was poured into water, and the crystals which separated out were recovered by filtration and washed with diethyl ether. Recrystallization from dichloroethane-ethanol produced 1-(1-naphthoyl)-3-[4-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-2-naphthyl)-2-thiazolyl]thiourea (yield of 875 mg, 45.4%) in the form of colorless needles. m.p. 216°-217° C.
