Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Triethylamine (0.97 ml; 6.34 mmol) and butanoyl chloride (0.52 ml; 5.07 mmol) were added in this order to a solution of 2-amino-5-isopropyl-1,3-thiazole (0.6 g; 4.23 mmol) in dichloromethane (8 ml), cooled to −5° C. The reaction mixture was stirred at −5° C. for 2 hours and then warmed to room temperature. After additional 4 hours, the organic layer was washed with water, saturated sodium bicarbonate, 1N hydrochloric acid, brine, dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated. The residue was recrystallized from cyclohexane to yield 0.45 g (50%) of the title compound as a colourless solid (m.p. 95–97° C.)
