Dimethylformamide → N-(2-phenylethyl)-4-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-1,3-thiazole-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-bromo-1-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-ethanone (5.34 g), N-(2-phenylethyl)thiourea (3.60 g) and N,N-dimethylformamide (20 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 1 hr. The reaction mixture was poured into water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated to give the title compound (5.20 g, yield 74%) as colorless crystals.
