Procedure

To a mixture of copper (II) chloride (20 g, 0.15 mol) and 90% t-butyl nitrite (24 mL, 0.18 mol) in 500 mL acetonitrile at 60° C. was added in portions ethyl 2-amino-4-thiazolecarboxylate (21 g, 0.12 mol), maintaining the temperature at between 60°-65° C. After the addition, the resulting reaction mixture was heated at 80° C. for 1 h, then cooled to RT and poured into a mixture of water, CH2Cl2 and 25 mL conc HCl. The aq layer was separated and extracted with CH2Cl2. The combined organic layers were washed with water, brine, dried and concentrated to give 21.5 g of ethyl 2-chloro-4-thiazolecarboxylate.
