Reaction Steps

To a solution of N-(4-cyano-3-methyl-isothiazol-5-yl)-butyramide (method 5) (4.18 g, 20 mmol) in 30% aqueous NH4OH (250 mL), was added dropwise 100 mL of hydrogen peroxide at r.t. After the completion of the addition the reaction mixture was stirred at 60° C. overnight after which the TLC showed the complete disappearance of SM. The reaction mixture was cooled and extracted with chloroform (3×100 mL). The organic layer was dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated to get the pure 5-butyrylamino-3-methyl-isothiazole-4-carboxylic acid amide (2.9 g, 72%) as a white solid. 1H NMR (300 MHz) δ 1.03 (t, 3H), 1.79 (m, 2H), 2.54 (t, 3H), 2.69 (s, 3H), 5.97 (bs, 2H), 11.78 (bs, 1H).
