Ammonium dithiocarbamate → 5-Benzyloxycarbonyl-2-mercapto-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothiazolo[5,4-c]pyridine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of ammonium dithiocarbamate (0.19 g, 1.7 mmol) in 2 mL of ethanol was added 1-benzyloxycarbonyl-3-bromo-4-piperidone (0.53 g, 1.7 mol). The reaction was stirred at rt overnight. The next morning the reaction was heated at 75° C. for 2 h. The reaction was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate, water (2X) and then brine. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the product subjected to flash chromatography (2:1 hexane/ethyl acetate). Crystallization from ethyl acetate/hexane afforded 0.14 g of 5-benzyloxycarbonyl-2-mercapto-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrothiazolo[5,4-c]pyridine.
