Propargyl bromide → Propargyl 2-chloro-4-trifluoromethyl-5-thiazolecarboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4.63 g (0.02 mole) of 2-chloro-4-trifluoromethyl-5-thiazolecarboxylic acid, 2.42 g (0.02 mole) of propargyl bromide, 2.59 g (0.02 mole) of diisopropylamine, and 50 ml. of methylene chloride was stirred for 16 hours. The methylene chloride solution was washed successively with diluted hydrochloric acid and saturated sodium bicarbonate, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was Kugelrohr distilled to give propargyl 2-chloro-4-trifluoromethyl-5-thiazolecarboxylate as a colorless liquid.
