Methyl 3-Bromopyruvate → Methyl 2-(4-phenyl-1,2,3-thiadiazol-5-yl)thiazole-4-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 20 ml of chlorobenzene were dissolved 1.1 g (5.0 mmol) of 4-phenyl-1,2,3-thiadiazole-5-carbothioamide and 0.92 g (5.0 mmol) of methyl bromopyruvate. The solution thus obtained was stirred for 3 hours with heating under reflux. After the reaction was completed, the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, a saturated aqueous solution of sodium hydrogen carbonate was added thereto, and the objective product was extracted with ethyl acetate. The solvent was distilled off from the extract solution under a reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography using 3:1 mixture of n-hexane and ethyl acetate. Thus, 0.74 g of the objective compound was obtained.
