(2-Amino-1,3-thiazol-4-yl)acetic acid → HCID 23512079, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 2-amino-4-thiazoleacetic acid (4 g, 25 mmol) in 1:1 CH2Cl:acetone (100 mL) was added o-tolylisocyanate (3.5 g, 26 mmol). The mixture was heated to reflux for 8 hr at which time a yellow precipitate had formed the precipitate was filtered and the solid washed generously with 1:1 CH2Cl2:acetone. The solid was recrystallized with hot methanol and dried under vacuum to yield 4.8 g (66% yield) of the desired 2-(o-tolylureido)-4-thiazoleacetic acid 225.
