Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl 4-(chloromethyl)thiazol-2-ylcarbamate (8.0 g, 24.16 mmol) was dissolved in 2.0 M methylamine in tetrahydrofuran (640 mL, ˜40 eq.) and heated in the microwave for 60 minutes at 60° C. The precipitate (impurity) was filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to furnish 1.97 g product as orange foam. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6): δ 11.79 (s, br, 1H), 7.50 (s, 1H), 7.36 (d, 1H), 7.10 (m, 2H), 5.14 (s, br, 1H), 4.63 (s, 2H), 4.36 (s, 2H), 3.83 (t, 2H), 3.43 (t, 2H).
