Participants

Reaction Steps

4-(6-Acetylaminomethyl-4-chloropyridin-2-yl)-2-(diaminomethyleneamino)thiazole (160 mg) was hydrogenated over 10% palladium on carbon (50% wt) (50 mg) in methanol (5 ml) at atmospheric pressure of hydrogen for 8 hours at ambient temperature. After the catalyst was removed by filtration, the solvent was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was mixed with water. The solution was adjusted to pH 10 with aqueous potassium carbonate and the free base was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate and evaporated in vacuo to give 4-(6-acetylaminomethylpyridin-2-yl)-2-(diaminomethyleneamino)thiazole (0.13 g).
