Procedure

A solution of 3-phenylpropyl isothiocyanate (500 mg, 2.82 mmol) and 2-aminothiazole (300 mg, 3.0 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (10 mL) was heated to 100° C. After 20 h, the reaction was cooled to room temperature and poured into ethyl acetate. The organic phase was washed with 1N hydrochloric acid, water (3×), and brine. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated. The solid obtained was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (1% ethyl acetate in dichloromethane) and then recrystallized from ethyl acetate to provide 129 mg of the title product. A second crop was recrystallized from 1:1 ethyl acetate/hexanes to provide another 110 mg of the title product. Total yield of the title product: 239 mg (30%) as an off-white solid. A sample was recrystallized again from ethyl acetate:
