Triethylamine → 2-Difluoroacetylimino-3(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-5-methylthiazoline

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-imino-3-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-5-methylthiazoline hydrochloride (0.42 g), triethylamine (2.2 g), 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydrochloride (0.8 g) and difluoroacetic acid (0.75 g) in chloroform (10 ml) was refluxed for 8 hours. The residue was washed with aqueous hydrochloric acid and aqueous potassium carbonate and dried over magnesium sulfate. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue was subjected to column chromatography to give 2-difluoroacetylimino-3-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-5-methylthiazoline (Compound No. 63) (0.3 g). m.p., 117.9° C.
