To a solution of 4.5 g (0.0187 mole) of ethyl 2-amino-4-trifluoromethyl-5-thiazolecarboxylate in 50 ml. of 85% phosphoric acid at -10° C. was added 25 ml. of nitric acid. To this mixture was added dropwise at -10° C. to -5° C. a solution of 4.0 g (0.0579 mole) of sodium nitrite in 20 ml. of water in 30 minutes. This mixture was stirred for 10 minutes at -10° C. to -5° C. and poured into a solution of 2.70 g (0.0187 mole) of freshly prepared cuprous bromide in 20 ml. of hydrobromic acid. A vigorous evolution of gas occurred. The reaction mixture was stirred for 5 minutes and diluted with water. The solid suspension was filtered and air-dried to give 4.8 g of solid which was chromatographed on silica gel using ether/petroleum ether (1:4) as eluant. The first 1 liter of eluate gave 3.7 g of solid which was recrystallized from petroleum ether to give 2.9 g (51%) of the desired product as white needles, m.p. 75.5°-76.5° C.
