tert-Butanol → tert-Butyl (4-{[methoxy(methyl)amino]methyl}-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of Intermediate 28: 2-(N-imidazocarbonylamino)-4-(N-methoxy-N-methyl-aminomethyl)thiazole (23.3 g, 87.2 mmol) and anhydrous tert-butanol (140 mL) was stirred under an inert atmosphere and heated to 80 C. After 20 minutes, a clear solution was obtained. tert-Butanol was evaporated at reduced pressure and the oily residue was dissolved in hexane (200 mL) and washed with water (2×100 mL). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated to afford the title compound as a colorless oil which crystallized on standing (21.4 g, 90% yield).
