Dimethylamine → HCID 17842470, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of thiazole-2-carbaldehyde (Aldrich, 2.0 g, 17.7 mmol) in DCM (20 mL) was treated with dimethylamine (Aldrich, 40% in water, 3 mL) and molecular sieves (˜1.0 g) followed by NaBH(OAc)3 (4.2 g, 20 mmol). The reaction was stirred at room temperature overnight. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to give yellow solid, which was then purified by silica gel column on a CombiFlash® system using hexanes and ethyl acetate (from 10% ethyl acetate to 100% ethyl acetate) to afford the title compound as yellow solid.
