Thiourea → HCID 58442532, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A reaction mixture containing 2-bromo-1-(2,6-dimethyl-4-(phenylthio)phenyl)ethanone (591.7 mg, 1.8 mmol, 1.0 equiv) and thiourea (134.3 mg, 1.8 mmol, 1.0 equiv) in EtOH (15.0 mL) was heated at reflux for 16 h. The solution was concentrated under reduced pressure, and the residue was re-dissolved in EtOAc (50 mL). The solution was washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (30 mL), dried over MgSO4, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (5.0% EtOAc in hexanes as eluant) to provide 4-(2,6-dimethyl-4-(phenylthio)phenyl)thiazol-2-amine (483.7 mg, 1.6 mmol) as yellow solids in 88% yield: 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 500 MHz) δ 7.33-7.38 (m, 2H), 7.29-7.33 (m, 3H), 7.06 (brs, 2H), 6.89 (s, 2H), 6.38 (s, 1H), 2.07 (s, 6H); ESI-MS: m/z 313.8 (M+H)+.
