Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-(2-bromo-acetyl)-benzoic acid methyl ester (1 g, 3.89 mmol) and thiourea (0.29 g, 3.89 mmol) were taken isopropyl alcohol (100 ml) and refluxed for 10 minutes followed by addition of sodium carbonate (0.206 g, 1.94 mmol) and stirred for 30 minutes. Reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and poured in water. The precipitate obtained was filtered off, washed with water and diethyl ether and dried under vacuum to afford 4-(2-amino-thiazol-4-yl)-benzoic acid methyl ester (0.500 g, 55%).
