Sodium Hydroxide → 4-Methyl-2-[(pyridine-4-carbonyl)amino]thiazole-5-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 2-(isonicotinamido)-4-methylthiazole-5-carboxylate (1.46 g, 5.0 mmol) and sodium hydroxide (0.40 g, 10.00 mmol) in methanol (100 mL) and water (25 mL) was stirred at ambient temperature overnight and then heated to reflux for 2 h. The mixture was concentrated and then neutralized with 5% hydrochloric acid solution to pH 5˜6. The precipitate obtained was collected by filtration and dried to give the title compound in 89% yield (1.17 g); 1H NMR (DMSO-d5, 300 MHz) δ 8.74 (d, J=6.0 Hz, 2H), 7.93 (d, J=6.0 Hz, 2H), 2.46 (s, 3H); MS (ES+) m/z 264.1 (M+1).
