HCID 18359981, compound → 7-Ethylimidazo[5,1-b]thiazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5.0 g of 7-vinylimidazo[5,1-b]thiazole in 40 ml of ethanol and 8 ml of water was added 2.0 g of 10% Pd-C, and the mixture was stirred under the atmosphere of hydrogen at room temperature overnight. The catalyst was removed by filtration, and the filtrate was concentrated to a small volume. The concentrate was diluted with 10 ml of a saturated aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, and extracted with 100 ml of ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with aqueous saline and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue thus obtained was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (dichloromethane:ethyl acetate=3:2) to give 1.27 g of 7-ethylimidazo[5,1-b]thiazole.
