1,1'-Thiocarbonyldiimidazole → 4-[2-(4,4-Dimethyl-2-thioxo-1,3-oxazolidin-3-yl)-1,3-thiazol-4-yl]benzonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

1,1-Thiocarbonyldiimidazole (652 mg, 3.6 mmol) was added to a solution of 4-{2-[(2-hydroxy-1,1-dimethylethyl)amino]-1,3-thiazol-4-yl}benzonitrile (1.0 g, 3.6 mmol), prepared in the previous step, in 60 mL of dry tetrahydrofuran at 0° C. The solution was allowed to warm to room temperature. After 2 h, starting material remained. The reaction was heated to reflux. After 12 h, the reaction was cooled to room temperature and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification of the residue by reverse phase HPLC using a continuous gradient of 70-83% acetonitrile-water over 10 min gave the title compound (130 mg, 11%) as a tan solid. mp>240° C. (dec.)
