Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of LiBH4 (44 mg, 2.02 mmol), ethyl 3-[(5-bromo-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)amino]-3-oxopropanoate (340 mg, 1.16 mmol), ethanol (0.082 ml, 2.02 mmol), and Et2O (50 ml) was refluxed for 20 min. The reaction was quenched with 1 N hydrochloric acid with ice-cooling. The mixture was then diluted with water and extracted with dichloromethane. The extract was dried and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. Purification by silica gel chromatography (dichloromethane/methanol=98:2 and then 95:5) yielded the title compound as a white solid (0.17 g; 52%).
