tert-butyl N-{4-methyl-5-[(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)carbamoyl]-1,3-thiazol-2-yl}carbamate → 5-Thiazolecarboxamide, 2-amino-4-methyl-N-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of [5-[[(2,4,6-Trimethylphenyl)amino]carbonyl]-4-methyl-2-thiazolyl]carbamic acid, 1,1-dimethylethyl ester (10 g, 26.63 mmol) in trifluoroacetic acid (100 mL) was stirred at rt for 3 h. The solution was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was diluted with EtOAc (700 mL), washed with 5% aq. KHCO3 solution (400 mL, 2×), water, and brine; dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated. The residue was washed with ether (200 mL) and acetonitrile (100 mL) to obtain the title compound (6.7 g, 91%) as a white solid.
