To a mixture of 2-acetylamino-5-(4-nitrophenylthio)thiazole (2.8 g) and ammonium chloride (0.3 g) in a mixture of ethanol (60 ml), water (30 ml) and tetrahydrofuran (20 ml) was portionwise added the iron powder (3 g) at 80° C. with stirring. The mixture was refluxed for 2.5 hours with stirring. The reaction mixture was filtered by suction and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was triturated with water, the precipitates were collected by filtration, washed with water and dried in vacuo to give 2-acetylamino-5-(4-aminophenylthio)thiazole (2.0 g, yield: 79.5%).
