Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Dissolve 30.0 g. (0.176 moles) of N-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl) acetamide in 375 ml. of dimethylformamide under nitrogen followed by 7.7 g. of 50% sodium hydride in 2 portions at room temperature. When gas evolution ceases, 27.5 g. (0.191 moles) of dimethylaminoethylchloride hydrochloride is added along with 8.35 g. of 50% sodium hydride. The mixture is stirred at 60°-70° C. for 1/2 hour, 90° C. for 2 hours, cooled to room temperature, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue is taken up in 200 ml. of 6 N hydrochloric acid and refluxed for 24 hours. The mixture is extracted with hexane and made basic with sodium hydroxide with cooling. The aqueous layer is extracted with methylene chloride, the organic layer washed with saturated sodium chloride, dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated. The residue is distilled and the fraction boiling at 110°-113° C./0.7 mm. of Hg. collected (29.2 g.) and identified as N,N-dimethyl-N'-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-1,2-ethanediamine.
