Reaction Steps

As depicted in Scheme 27 below, ethyl 2-(4-nitrophenyl)-4H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]thiazole-5-carboxylate (0.1 mmol) is placed in a heavy-walled glass tube equipped with a threaded Teflon plug, and ethyl 4-isothiocyanatobutyrate (1.03 mmol, 10 molequivalents) and triethylamine (2 mmol, 20 molequivalents) are added thereto. The glass tube is sealed and the reaction mixture is heated at 130° C. while stirring overnight (18 hours). Additional isothiocyanate (10 drops, 10 molequivalents) is added thereafter and heating is continued while stirring at 130° C. for 6 additional hours. The mixture is then dissolved in chloroform and the purified final product is isolated by column chromatography on silica, using a 9:1 hexane:ethyl acetate mixture as eluent.
