Hydrochloric Acid → Methyl 2-(6-chloro-2-methylpyrimidin-4-yl-amino)thiazol-5-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a reaction flask, 49.49 g 4,6-dichloro-2-methylpyrimidine (0.303 mol), 40.00 g methyl 2-aminothiazol-5-carboxylic acid (0.253 mol), and 200 ml N,N-dimethylacetamide were charged, the temperature was brought to −5° C. and 18.20 g sodium hydride (0.455 mol) in 90 ml tetrahydrofuran were added dropwise and the reaction mixture was kept under these conditions for about three hours. At the end of the reaction, 250 ml of a solution of hydrochloric acid 2N were added, the temperature was brought to the room value, the formed solid was filtered and washed with water (4×200 ml) and dried in oven under vacuum at a temperature of 55° C. for about eight hours, to give 62.89 g methyl 2-(6-chloro-2-methylpyrimidin-4-yl-amino)thiazol-5-carboxylic acid.
