1,1'-Carbonyldiimidazole → HCID 59570823, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A 3-neck 500 ml round bottle flask was charged with 4-Chloromethyl-thiazol-2-ylamine hydrochloride (Intermediate 1, 1 eq.) and CDI (1.05 eq.) and purged with nitrogen. Anhydrous THF was added via cannula. To the resulting stirring granular suspension was added DIPEA (1.05 eq.) dropwise via an addition funnel. After the addition of DIPEA was complete, the 3,5-difluoro-benzyl amine (1.0 eq.) was added dropwise in the same manner. The reaction was quenched with DI water and the THF was removed in vacuo. The resulting orange residue was partitioned with water and DCM. The organic layer was dried with Na2SO4, filtered and solvent was removed in vacuo. The crude was purified by column chromatography (acetone/hexanes) followed by recrystallization from iPrOAc and hexanes. The solid was isolated via filtration and dried under vacuum to give 1-(4-Chloromethyl-thiazol-2-yl)-3-(3,5-difluoro-benzyl)-urea.
