Pyridine → Methyl 4-{[(4'-chloro-4-methylbiphenyl-3-yl)acetyl]amino}-1,3-thiazole-5-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

1.8 g (11.38 mmol) of methyl 4-amino-1,3-thiazole-5-carboxylate were dissolved in 40 acetonitrile, and 1.8 ml (22.76 mmol) of pyridine were added. After 5 min of stirring at room temperature (RT), a solution of 3.18 g (11.38 mmol) of (4′-chloro-4-methylbiphenyl-3-yl)acetyl chloride (obtained from (4′-chloro-4-methylbiphenyl-3-yl)acetic acid according to WO 99/48869 A1) in 20 ml of acetonitrile was added dropwise. The mixture was stirred at RT for 12 h. The precipitate formed was filtered off, washed with water and dried under reduced pressure. The resulting mother liquor was concentrated by evaporation, dissolved in chloroform and chromatographed (ethyl acetate/n-heptane: 20/80 to 80/20). This gives a total of 1.81 g of methyl 4-{[(4′-chloro-4-methylbiphenyl-3-yl)acetyl]amino}-1,3-thiazole-5-carboxylate.
