Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 4-methyl-2-(trityl-amino)-thiazole-5-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (500 mg, 1.17 mmol) in ethanol (10 mL) at 25° C. was treated with a 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (3.51 mL, 3.51 mmol). The resulting mixture was heated to 50° C. for 18 h. At this time, the reaction was treated with an additional amount of a 1N aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (3.6 mL, 3.6 mmol). This mixture was heated at 50° C. for an additional 8 days. At this time, the reaction was diluted with water (100 mL), acidified to pH=5, and treated with ethyl acetate. The resulting white solid was collected by filtration and dried in vacuo. The filtrate was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organics were dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to afford 4-methyl-2-(trityl-amino)-thiazole-5-carboxylic acid (55.7 mg, 11.9%) as a white solid: 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 300 MHz) δ9.09 (broad s, 1H), 7.22 (m, 15 H), 2.22 (s, 3H).
