Chlorosuccinimide → 5-Chloro-2-formylamino-4-(4-pyridylthiomethyl)thiazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-formylamino-4-(4-pyridylthiomethyl)thiazole (1.6 g) and N-chlorosuccinimide (1.5 g) in acetic acid (25 ml) was headed at 40°-50° C. for 5 hours with stirring and then the mixture was allowed to stand at room temperature for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was triturated with aqueous sodium bicarbonate. The precipitates were collected by filtration washed with water and dried in vacuo to give 5-chloro-2-formylamino-4-(4-pyridylthiomethyl)thiazole (0.85 g, yield: 46.8%).
