Benzylamine → 2-Amino-4-benzylthiazole-5-carboxylic Acid Benzylamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-amino-4-benzylthiazole-5-carboxylic acid (0.033 g, 0.14 mmol) and diisopropylethylamine (0.08 mL, 0.46 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (5 mL) was added N-ethyl-N′-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (0.039 g, 0.20 mmol), followed by the addition of 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (0.026 g, 0.19 mmol). After 30 minutes, benzylamine (0.02 mL, 0.18 mmol) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 12 h, diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water, brine, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was purified by flash column chromatography eluting with ethyl acetate/hexanes (5/95 to 100/0) to afford the title compound (0.029 g, 65% yield).
