Phenyl isocyanate → N-benzyl-4-methyl-2-(3-phenylureido)thiazole-5-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 2-amino-4-methylthiazole-5-carboxylic acid benzylamide (0.10 g, 0.40 mmol) in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (5 mL), triethylamine (0.17 mL, 0.12 g, 1.22 mmol) and phenyl isocyanate (0.07 mL, 0.072 g, 0.61 mmol) were added dropwise at ambient temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 25 h and then diluted with ethyl ether (20 mL). The white precipitate obtained was collected by filtration, washed with ethyl ether (3×6 mL) and dried under the reduced pressure to afford the title compound as a white solid in 80% yield (0.119 g); m.p.>300° C.; 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 300 MHz) δ 9.00 (s, 1H), 8.47 (t, J=5.7 Hz, 1H), 7.46-7.17 (m, 10H), 7.03-6.98 (m, 1H), 4.35 (d, J=6.0 Hz, 2H), 2.43 (s, 3H); 13C NMR (DMSO-d6, 75 MHz) δ 162.2, 140.2, 140.0, 129.4, 129.2, 128.7, 127.7, 127.1, 123.3, 119.1, 118.6, 43.0, 39.1; MS (ES+) m/z 367.2 (M+1).
