Methylamine → 5-Thiazolecarboxamide, N,4-dimethyl-2-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-

Participants

Reaction Steps

Into a mixture of 80 ml of 40% solution of methylamine and 420 ml of ethanol, 16.9 g of ethyl 2-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-4-methylthiazole-5-carboxylate which had been prepared by heating a mixture of 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzamide, phosphorus pentasulfide, ethyl α-chloroacetoacetate and n-butylalcohol under a reflux condenser for 5 hours was dissolved and the solution was left for 10 days at room temperature. Then the solution was condensed to solid under a reduced pressure. The thus obtained residue was recrystallized from an aqueous ethanolic solution to obtain the object as colourless minute aciculate melting at 177.5° to 179.5° C. in an amount of 10.5 g corresponding to the yield of 60%.
