Water → 2-Amino-1,3-thiazole-4-carboxylic acid, N-BOC protected

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-tert-Butoxycarbonylamino-thiazole-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester (15.5 g, 60.01 mmol) was dissolved in 4:1 tetrahydrofuran:water (300 mL) followed by the addition of lithium hydroxide monohydrate (5.29 g, 126.07 mmol). The solution was stirred overnight at room temperature. Tetrahydrofuran was removed under vacuum and the salt was neutralized with 2.0 N aqueous hydrochloric acid. The resulting precipitate was filtered and dried to give 2-tert-butoxycarbonylamino-thiazole-4-carboxylic acid (10.4 g, 71%).
