Lawesson's reagent → 2-(4-Chloro-3-cyanophenyl)thiazolo[5,4-d]pyrimidine

Participants

Reaction Steps

The above-obtained 4-chloro-N-(4-chloro-5-pyrimidinyl)-3-cyanobenzamide (7.98 g, 27.2 mmol) and Lawesson's reagent (8.25 g, 20.4 mmol) were suspended in toluene (150 mL). The suspension was refluxed with heating for 8 hours, and cooled to room temperature to filtrate precipitated crystals. The crystals were washed with chloroform (75×2), and air-dried to obtain 7.25 g (yield: 98%) of the subject compound as pale yellow crystals.
