Pyridine → Ethyl 2-methanesulfonamidothiazol-4-ylacetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 2-(2-amino-1,3-thiazol-4-yl)acetate, which can be represented as ethyl 2-(2-imino-2,3-dihydro-1,3-thiazol-4-yl)acetate, (5.6 g.), mesyl chloride (6.9 g.), pyridine (15 ml.) and methylene chloride (45 ml.) was refluxed for 5 hours. After the reaction, the reaction mixture was concentrated. The residue was poured into ice-water (150 ml.) and stirred. The precipitates were collected by filtration, washed with water and diethyl ether and dried to give pale brown powder of ethyl 2-(2-mesylamino-1,3-thiazol-4-yl)acetate, which can be represented as ethyl 2-(2-mesylimino-2,3-dihydro-1,3-thiazol-4-yl)acetate, (6.3 g.).
