Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 3.5 g N-(thiazol-4-yl)methyl-2-ethyl-6-methylaniline (from Example 11) and 125 ml toluene was heated to reflux and 1.7 g chloroacetyl chloride was added dropwise. The mixture was refluxed for 2 hours, cooled, stripped and purified on a silica-gel column using methylene chloride followed by 2% methanol:methylene chloride.
