Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

In 250 mg of xylene were suspended 250 mg of phenyl 2-hydroxy-4,5-dimethoxybenzoate (3a) and 144 mg of methyl 2-amino-1,3-thiazole-4-carboxylate (4a) in a stream of argon, which was then heated to reflux (at 140° C.) for 7 hours. The reaction was not completed. After cooling, methanol was added, followed by stirring for one hour. The precipitated crystal was collected by filtration and dried under reduced pressure at 60° C. to provide 170 mg of the same compound (5a) as that of Example 4 at a yield of 55%.
