Dimethylformamide → 2-[3-(Methylthio)pyridin-4-yl]-6-(trifluoromethyl)thiazolo[5,4-b]pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 0.20 g of 2-(3-fluoropyridin-4-yl)-6-(trifluoromethyl)thiazolo[5,4-b]pyridine, 47 mg of methylmercaptan sodium salt and 6 ml of DMF was stirred for 1 hour under ice cool. To this mixture was added 47 mg of methylmercaptan sodium salt, and the resultant mixture was stirred further for 1 hour under ice cool. To the reaction mixture was added water, and the resultant mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate twice. The combined organic layers were washed with water and saturated saline, dried over magnesium sulfate, then, concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was subjected to silica gel column chromatography, to obtain 0.19 g of 2-[3-(methylthio)pyridin-4-yl]-6-(trifluoromethyl)thiazolo[5,4-b]pyridine (hereinafter, referred to as the present compound 14).
