Hydrochloric Acid → HCID 54403172, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of ethyl 2-(2-amino-5-methylthiazol-4-yl)-2-methoxyiminoacetate (syn isomer, 4.0 g.), 2N-aqueous sodium hydroxide (25 ml.), ethanol (30 ml.) and tetrahydrofuran (15 ml.) was stirred at room temperature for 75 minutes. The reaction mixture was adjusted to pH 6 with hydrochloric acid, and the organic solvent was distilled off in vacuo. The remaining aqueous solution was washed with ethyl acetate and adjusted to pH 3 with hydrochloric acid. The resultant precipitates were collected by filtration, washed with water and dried to give 2-(2-amino-5-methylthiazol-4-yl)-2-methoxyiminoacetic acid (syn isomer, 2.6 g.).
