Pyridine → 2-Benzoylaminothiazole-5-carboxylic acid methyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

Benzoyl chloride (0.44 g, 0.37 mL) was added to a mixture of 2-aminothiazole-5-carboxylic acid methyl ester (0.50 g, 3.16 mmol), 4-dimethylaminopyridine (0.050 g, 0.41 mmol) and pyridine (2.5 mL, 31.60 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (20 mL) at ambient temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 12 h, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography to yield 2-benzoylaminothiazole-5-carboxylic acid methyl ester in 78% yield (0.654 g); MS (ES+) m/z 263.2 (M+1).
