Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (4-methyl-1,3-thiazol-5-yl)methanol (2.5 g, 19.4 mmol) in anhydrous dichloromethane (100 mL) was added dropwise tribromophosphane (2.00 mL, 21.3 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3.5 hours. Dichloromethane was evaporated, and the residue was then dried in vacuo, affording 5-(bromomethyl)-4-methyl-1,3-thiazole hydrobromide. The product was used for the next step without further purification.
