Methanol → 2-Amino-4-(3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-thiazole-5-carboxylic acid amide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 0.9035 g (2.884 mmole) of 2-azido-4-(3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-thiazole-5-carboxylic acid amide, 27 mL of methanol and 27 mL of tetrahydrofuran, was added 1.91 g (29.21 mg-atom) of zinc and 3.82 g (71.42 mmole) of ammonium chloride. The mixture was stirred vigorously for 1 hour, and then filtered through Diatomaceous earth, washing the filter pad with methanol and tetrahydrofuran. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure, diluted with 350 mL of ethyl acetate and washed three times with 100 mL of water, twice with 50 mL of brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, concentrated under reduced pressure to give 0.8527 g of 2-amino-4-(3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-thiazole-5-carboxylic acid amide (V.48).
