Thiobenzamide → 5-Ethyl-2-phenyl-1,3-thiazole-4-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Intermediate 2C was prepared as described above for the preparation of intermediate 2B from 4.61 g of thiobenzamide, 5.0 g of ethyl 3-bromo-2-oxo-pentanoate, and 14 mL of toluene. Solids were collected and washed with cold water after cooling of the NaOH solution. Heating these solids with citric acid as described followed by cooling and isolation of the resulting solids gave 3.74 g (72% yield) of intermediate 2C; 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz) δ7913-7.91 (m, 2H), 7.51-7.50 (m, 3H), 3.39 (q, 2H, J=7.8), 1.42 (t, 3H, J=7.8); low resolution MS (ES+)m/e 233.81 (MH+).
