Reaction Steps

(4-Hydroxymethyl-thiazol-2-yl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl ester (1.62 g, 6.95 mmol) was dissolved in 30 ml dichloromethane. Mangan(IV)oxid (3.65 g, 41.7 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture stirred at reflux for 2 hrs. The suspension was filtered through a dicalite speed plus pad and washed with dichloromethane. The solvents were evaporated and the desired compound was obtained as a light yellow solid (1.25 g, 78%), MS: m/e=229.2 (M+H+).
