Thionyl Chloride → 2-(4-Tert-butylthiazol-2-yl)benzofuran-5-carbonyl chloride hydrochloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 2-(4-tert-butylthiazol-2-yl)benzofuran-5-carboxylic acid (5.0 g) and thionyl chloride (12.1 ml) in tetrahydrofuran (50 ml) was stirred at 50° C. for 2 hours. After the solution was cooled to room temperature, the resulting precipitates were collected by filtration and washed with diisopropyl ether to give 2-(4-tert-butylthiazol-2-yl)benzofuran-5-carbonyl chloride hydrochloride (5.57 g).
