Thiourea → Ethyl 2-amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1,3-benzothiazole-6-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

Thiourea (0.672 g, 8.835 mmol) was taken in ethanol (30 mL). To this stirred solution was added 3-Bromo-4-oxo-cyclohexane carboxylic acid ethyl ester (2.2 g, 8.835 mmol). The reaction was refluxed for 2 hrs. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature and ethanol was evaporated under reduced pressure, the residue was partitioned between water and ethyl acetate. The water layer was collected and basified using sat. sodium bicarbonate solution, extracted with ethyl acetate, the organic layer was washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 2-Amino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-benzothiazole-6-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (1.6 g)
