Pyridine → phenyl N-(1,3-thiazol-2-yl)carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

After dissolving 2-aminothiazole (5.01 g, 50.0 mmol) and pyridine (7.91 g, 100 mmol) in dimethylformamide (50 ml), phenyl chloroformate (8.22 g, 52.5 mmol) was added while cooling on ice, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The reaction solution was distributed between an ethyl acetate-tetrahydrofuran mixed solvent and water, the organic layer was washed with water and saturated saline and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, the drying agent was filtered off and the filtrate was distilled off under reduced pressure. After adding ethyl acetate and then hexane to the obtained crude product, the precipitated crystals were filtered out and blow-dried to obtain the title compound (10.6 g, 48.1 mmol, 96%) as colorless crystals.
