Benzylamine → 2-Bromo-4-methyl-thiazole-5-carboxylic acid benzylamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 2-bromo-4-methylthiazole-5-carboxylic acid (10.00 g, 45.03 mmol) and 1-(3-dimethyl)aminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (12.09 g, 63.04 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (170 mL) under nitrogen atmosphere was added N,N-diisopropylethylamine (17.46 g, 135.0 mmol). After the mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 30 minutes, 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (8.52 g, 63.04 mmol) and benzylamine (6.76 g, 6.88 mL, 63.04 mmol) were added. The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 16 hours and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in dichloromethane (500 mL), washed with water (2×100 mL) and brine (2×100 mL). The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was purified by column chromatography (ethyl acetate:petroleum ether, 2:1) to afford the title compound (11.91 g, 85%): 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 9.92 (t, J=6.0 Hz, 1H), 7.34-7.25 (m, 5H), 4.46 (d, J=6.0 Hz, 2H), 2.53 (s, 3H); MS (ES+) m/z 298.1 (M+1), 300.1 (M+1).
