Methyl 7-chloro-6-oxoheptanoate → HCID 20202828, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of methyl 7-chloro-6-oxoheptanoate (2.0 g.) in hot EtOH (20 ml.) was added a solution of 2,2,2-trifluoroethylamidinothiourea (2.1 g.) in hot EtOH (20 ml.). The resulting mixture was heated under reflux for 1 hour. The mixture was then evaporated to dryness and the residue partitioned between ether (20 ml.) and water (60 ml.). The aqueous layer was separated and basified with sodium bicarbonate and extracted with EtOAc. The EtOAc solution was evaporated to dryness and the residue crystallised from EtOAc/ether containing a small amount of acetone to give methyl 5-[2-(2-[2,2,2-trifluoroethyl]guanidino)thiazol-4-yl]valerate which was used without further purification.
