Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 5 g of 2-chloro-1-(4-nitrophenyl)-hexan-3-one (0.02 mol) and 2.6 g of (methylthio)thioacetamide (0.022 mol) is heated at 60° C. for 24 h. The reaction is followed by TLC (7/3 cyclohexane/ethyl acetate). The reaction medium is then treated according to the process of Example 45 to give 5.6 g of 2-methylthiomethyl-5-(4-nitrobenzyl)-4-propylthiazole in the form of an orange oil.
