Hydrochloric Acid → O-methyl-N-(2-chloro-5-thiazolylmethyl)-N'-nitroisourea

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of O-methyl-N-nitroisourea (3.0 g, 0.0252 mol), 36% hydrochloric acid (2.2 ml), and water (50 ml) was added 5-aminomethyl-2-chlorothiazole (93% purity, 4.4 g, 0.0275 mol) at 20° C. This mixture was stirred at room temperature for 6 hours and then extracted with dichloromethane. The extract was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated to provide 3.5 g (55.4% yield) of O-methyl-N-(2-chloro-5-thiazolylmethyl)-N'-nitroisourea.
