Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-nitrobenzyl bromide (6.35 g), triphenylphosphine (7.71 g) and N,N-dimethylformamide (50 ml) was stirred for 5 hours at room temperature. To the mixture were added potassium butoxide (3.96 g), and then N-(4-formyl-1,3-thiazol-2-yl)acetamide (5.0 g) prepared in a similar manner according to Step 4 of Production Example 1, and the mixture was stirred for 13 hours at the same temperature. The reaction mixture was poured into ethyl acetate (200 ml) and water (200 ml). The organic layer was washed with water (20 ml), dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The crystalline residue was collected and washed with 30% ethyl acetate/diisopropyl ether to give N-{4-[(E)-2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethenyl]-1,3-thiazol-2-yl}acetamide (7.8 g).
