Thiourea → HCID 58442454, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-bromo-1-(2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl)ethanone (13.9 g, 42.7 mmol) and thiourea (3.24 g, 42.6 mmol) in 95% EtOH (60.9 mL) was heated at reflux overnight. The solution was concentrated and added with water (100 mL), saturated aqueous Na2CO3 (10 mL), and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous MgSO4(s), and concentrated under reduced pressure, which was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (33% EtOAc in hexanes as eluant) to give 4-(2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl)thiazol-2-amine (3.28 g) as white solids in 25% yield: 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.03 (s, 2 H), 6.22 (s, 1 H), 4.75 (bs, 2 H), 2.89 (m, 1 H), 2.68 (m, 2 H), 1.27-1.14 (m, 18 H).
