N-bromobutanimide → 2-Bromo-5-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)thiazole-4-carboxylic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)thiazole-4-carboxylic acid (1.72 g, 10 mmol) in DCM (50 mL) was added in three portions NBS (1.95 g, 11 mmol); the reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 1 h. Reaction was concentrated in vacuo; resulted residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (6:1 Pet-ether-EtOAc) to afford 2-bromo-5-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)thiazole-4-carboxylic acid (1.75 g, 70%) as white solid: 1H-NMR (CDCl3, 500 MHz) δ (ppm): 13.65 (s, 1H), 10.03 (s, 1H), 1.49 (s, 9H). MS (ESI) m/z: 324 [M+H+]
