Chloroform → 5-bromo-2-(N-ethyl-2,4-dichloroanilino)-4-methylthiazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

After 2-(N-ethyl-2,4-dichloroanilino)-4-methylthiazole hydrochloride (6.0 g) and calcium carbonate (4.6 g) were suspended in a mixed solvent of chloroform (90 mL) and methanol (36 mL), benzyl-trimethylammonium tribromide (7.2 g) was added thereto in small portions. The solids in the reaction mixture were filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by a silica gel column chromatography (silica gel: Wako Gel (C200), eluent: hexane-ethyl acetate=9:1) to obtain 5-bromo-2-(N-ethyl-2,4-dichloroanilino)-4-methyl-thiazole (4.5 g).
