Procedure

To a solution of 2-methylamino-4-methyl-5-acetylthiazole (35 g) in tetrahydrofuran (700 ml) were added a mixture of acetic anhydride (94.5 ml) and formic acid (37.7 ml) at ambient temperature and the mixture was stirred for two hours. The reaction mixture was evaporated in vacuo. The residue was added to water and the resultant precipitate was collected by filtration and dried over phosphorus pentoxide to give 2-(N-methylformamido)-4-methyl-5-acetylthiazole (39.59 g).
