4-Toluenesulfonyl chloride → 2-Guanidino-4-(4-toluenesulfonyloxymethyl)thiazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-guanidino-4-hydroxymethylthiazole (0.69 g) in pyridine (5 ml) is gradually added 4-toluenesulfonyl chloride (0.763 g), and the resultant mixture is stirred at room temperature for 4 hours. The resultant mixture is concentrated in vacuum, and the residue is chromatographed on a column of silica gel, which is eluted with methanol. The eluate is concentrated in vacuum to give 2-guanidino-4-(4-toluenesulfonyloxymethyl)thiazole (0.6 g) as an oil. The yield is 45.8%.
