Pyridine → 4-Nitrophenyl 1,3-thiazol-2-ylcarbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 4-nitrophenyl chloroformate, 5.04 g (25 mMole), in 25 ml of dry ethyl acetate was added dropwise to an ice cooled, stirred solution of 2-aminothiazole, 5.01 g (50 mMole) in dry ethyl acetate, 25 ml, and dry pyridine, 50 ml. The ice bath was removed as the reaction mixture became viscous. Stirring was continued at 22° C. for three hours. Ethyl acetate was added. The insolubles were filtered, rinsed with ethyl acetate, with water, with acetone, dried and recrystallized from acetone furnishing 3.55 g of 2-(4-nitrophenoxycarbonyl)aminothiazole, m.p 211°-212° C. dec, which was characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectra, infrared spectra and elemental analyses.
