Participants

Reaction Steps

Into a solvent mixture of 50 ml of aqueous 28% ammonia and 450 ml of ethanol, 13.9 g of ethyl 2-(2-methoxyphenyl)-4-methylthiazole-5-carboxylate which had been prepared by heating a mixture of o-methoxybenzamide, ethyl α-chloroacetoacetate and phosphorus pentasulfide under a reflux condenser for 5 hours was dissolved. Then in a similar manner as in Example 3 the object was obtained as colourless minute aciculate melting at 191° to 192.5° C. in an amount of 8.7 g corresponding to the yield of 70%.
