Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 2-amino-4-(4-nitrophenylthiomethyl)thiazole (15 g) and ammonium chloride (2 g) in a mixture of tetrahydrofuran (100 ml), ethanol (150 ml) and water was added portionwise added the iron powder (15 g) at 80° C. with stirring. The mixture was refluxed for 2 hours with stirring. The reaction mixture was filtered by suction and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was extracted with a mixture of tetrahydrofuran and ethyl acetate (1:1), washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride and dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was triturated with chloroform. The precipitates were collected by filtration, washed with ether and dried in vacuo to give 2-amino-4-(4-aminophenylthiomethyl)thiazole (10.50 g, yield: 73.0%). mp: 130°-132° C.
