2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-methyl-1,3-thiazole-5-carboxylic Acid → HCID 178488950, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 300 mg (1.20 mmol) of 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-methyl-5-thiazolecarboxylic acid and 292.7 mg (1.81 mmol) of N,N'-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI) in dry dimethylformamide (8 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. Under the same conditions, a solution of 5-aminotetrazole (122.8 mg, 1.44 mmol) in dry dimethylformamide (1 ml) was added thereto and allowed to react at 70° C. for 3 hours. After the solvent was distilled off from the reaction mixture, the residue was treated with water under ice-cooling and acidified with 2N-HCl to pH 2. The produced solids were filtered with suction, suspended in 100 ml of water and made alkaline with 1N potassium hydroxide (pH=11). After the impurities were removed from the alkaline solution by extracting with ethyl acetate, the aqueous phase was acidified with 2N-HCl to pH 2 and the deposited solids were filtered with suction, washed with water and recrystallized from methanol-THF-water to give 244.4 mg (yield 64 %) of 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-4-methyl-N-(1H-tetrazole-5-yl)-5-thiazolecarboxamide as white crystals, m.p. 275°-278° C.
