Triethylamine → N-Methoxy-N-methyl-1,3-thiazole-5-carboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Triethylamine (2.77 mL, 19.9 mmol) was added slowly to a mixture of commercially available thiazole-5-carboxylic acid (1.03 g, 7.98 mmol), N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine hydrochloride (0.778 g, 7.98 mmol), and EDCI (1.83 g, 9.57 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (10 mL). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 72 hours then quenched with saturated aqueous NaHCO3. Water (50 mL) was added followed by additional CH2Cl2. The mixture was stirred for 10 minutes and layers were separated. The CH2Cl2 layer was dried over Na2SO4 and filtered. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure and the residual oil was chromatographed (CH2Cl2/EtOAc) to provide the title compound as a white solid.
