Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 11.22 g of 2,2,2,-trifluorothioacetamide and 10.14 g of ethyl 2-chloro-2-formylacetate was stirred for 30 minutes in an oil bath of 70° C. and then for 1.5 hours in an oil bath of 100° C., to which 100 ml of dichloromethane were added. After removing an insoluble substance, the mixture was concentrated and the residue was subjected to a column chromatography [developing solvent: hexane-ethyl acetate (10:1)], to obtain 3.74 g of ethyl 2-(trifluoromethyl)-5-thiazolecarboxylate as yellow liquid.
