Reaction Steps

Zinc powder (1.2 g, 18.46 mmol) was added to a solution of 400 mg of a mixture of (4-nitro-phenyl)-thiazol-2-yl-amine and bis-(4-nitrophenyl)-thiazol-2-yl amine in acetic acid (8 ml) and then heated at 65-70° C. for 2 hr. The reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure and diluted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with dilute sodium hydroxide solution, then water, brine and dried. Evaporation yielded a crude mixture which was chromatographed over silica gel using 1% methanol in chloroform to give N-thiazol-2-yl-benzene-1,4-diamine (75 mg, 21.7%), as a solid.
