Lawesson's reagent → HCID 14424279, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred suspension of Lawesson's Reagent (2.3 g, 0.0057 mole) in approximately 40 ml of toluene was added a mixture of N-[2-(5-methylthienyl)-2-oxoethyl]-4-trifluoromethylbenzamide (3.0 g, 0.011 mole) in toluene (35 ml). After complete addition the reaction mixture was heated at reflux for approximately four hours, then was allowed to cool to room temperature and stirred for two days. The solvent was removed from the reaction mixture by evaporation under reduced pressure, leaving an oil. The oil was dissolved in a small amount of methylene chloride and purified by column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with methylene chloride, yielding 1.0 g of 5-(5-methylthien-2-yl)-2-(4-trifluoromethylphenyl)thiazole as a solid, m.p. 150°-152° C.
