Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 0.76 g of sodium metaperiodate in 15 ml of water was added dropwise at room temperature to a mixture comprising 0.5 g of 4-(1,2-dihydroxyethyl)-2-(3-phenylureido)thiazole and 15 ml of methanol, and the mixture was stirred for 2 hours after completion of the dropwise addition. The solvent was then evaporated off under reduced pressure and the residue was washed with water, giving the desired compound as a white powder.
