Glycine → {[7-Hydroxy-2-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-thiazolo[4,5-c]pyridine-6-carbonyl]-amino}-acetic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 7-hydroxy-2-(4-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-thiazolo[4,5-c]pyridine-6-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (40 mg, 0.11 mmol) and glycine (162 mg, 2.16 mmol) in 0.5 M sodium methoxide/methanol (4.1 mL) was refluxed for four days before it was cooled to room temperature and concentrated in vacuo. Water (20 mL) and 1N HCl (1.5 mL) was added and the mixture was extracted twice with dichloromethane. The remaining aqueous layer was acidified to pH=3 with 1N HCl (1.5 mL). The suspension was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound as a yellow solid (34 mg): 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 200 MHz): δ=9.48 (br s, 1H), 8.94 (s, 1H), 8.35 (d, 2H), 7.96 (d, 2H), 4.03 (d, J=5.8 Hz, 2H); MS: (+) m/z 329.9 (M+1)
