Cesium carbonate → 4-(3-Chloro-phenyl)-2-[5(2,2-dimethoxy-ethyl)-2-nitro-phenylamino]-thiazole-5-carboxylic acid amide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 0.625 g (2.73 mmole) of 4-(2,2-dimethoxy-ethyl)-2-fluoro-1-nitro-benzene (IV.9b), 0.630 g (2.73 mmole) of 2-amino-4-(3-chloro-phenyl)-thiazole-5-carboxylic acid amide (V.2), 2.66 g (8.2 mmole) of cesium carbonate and 10 mL of dimethylformamide was stirred at 60 degrees for 3 hours. The mixture was cooled, poured into 50 mL of dilute ammonium chloride solution. The resulting suspension was extracted three times with 20 mL of ethyl acetate. The combined organic layers were washed three times with 20 mL of water, once with 20 mL of brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was triturated with diethyl ether to give 0.650 g of 4-(3-chloro-phenyl)-2-[5(2,2-dimethoxy-ethyl)-2-nitro-phenylamino]-thiazole-5-carboxylic acid amide (VI.9a) as an orange solid.
