Acetic acid, azido-, ethyl ester → HCID 59683351, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of thiazole-5-carbaldehyde (20 g, 176.77 mmol) and ethyl 2-azidoacetate (91.2 g, 707.1 mmol) in anhydrous ethanol (100 mL) was added sodium (16.26 g, 707.1 mmol) dissolved in anhydrous ethanol (1000 mL) dropwise between −10° C. and 0° C. After the addition, the mixture was stirred below 0° C. for 4 hours, and then warm to the ambient temperature and allowed to stir overnight. The reaction mixture was washed with saturated ammonium chloride, extracted with acetic ester (500 mL×3), the combined organic phase was dried by anhydrous sodium sulphate, and then filtered. The filtrate was concentrated and purified by column chromatograph on silica gel eluted with (petrol ether/acetic ester 20:1→10:1) to afford the title compound (9 g, 23%) as an yellow solid. LCMS (M+H+) m/z: calcd. 224.04. found 224.9.
