Dimethylformamide → 4-(3-Chloro-phenyl)-2-(5-dimethoxymethyl-2-nitro-phenylamino)-thiazole-5-carboxylic acid amide

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3.6 g (15 mmole) of 2-amino-4-(3-chloro-phenyl)-thiazole-5-carboxylic acid amide (V.2), 3.9 g (17.9 mmole) of 4-(dimethoxymethyl)-2-fluoro-1-nitro-benzene (IV.2a), 7.3 g (22.5 mmole) cesium carbonate, and 30 mL of dimethylformamide was heated at 70 degrees for 18 hours. The mixture was cooled, diluted with 150 mL of ethyl acetate and 100 mL of water. The ethyl acetate layer was washed once with 100 mL of brine and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The mixture was filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography, eluting with hexanes-ethyl acetate (50:50) to give 3.2 g of 4-(3-chloro-phenyl)-2-(5-dimethoxymethyl-2-nitro-phenylamino)-thiazole-5-carboxylic acid amide (VI.2a).
