Reaction Steps

Iron powder (53.7 mmol) is added to a suspension of 2-methyl-5-(3-nitro-phenyl)-thiazole-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester (44.1 mmol) and ammonium chloride (221 mmol) in a mixture of EtOH (100 mL) and water (50 mL). The mixture is stirred at 80° C. for 4 h, iron powder (53.7 mmol) is added and heating is continued for additional 3 h. After addition of a third portion of iron powder (26.8 mmol) the mixture is heated at 80° C. for additional 3 h, cooled to RT, diluted with DCM and filtered through Celite. The residue is washed with DCM and water and the filtrate is concentrated in vacuo. A sat. aq. NaHCO3 solution and DCM are added and the layers are separated. The organic layer is washed with water, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo to give a crude product which is used without further purification. LC-MS: tR=0.67 min; [M+H]+=249.4.
