Reaction Steps

A solution of thioacetamide in acetonitrile (6.66 mol), prepared as in Example 1, is placed in a flask. Ethyl 2-chloro-4,4,4-trifluoroacetoacetate (5.06 mol) is added and an exotherm is observed. Triethylamine (13.64 mol) is added and the mixture is heated to reflux (approx. 76° C.) for one hour. The resulting solution is cooled. Ethyl 2-methyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)-thiazole-5-carboxylate may be isolated by standard means.
