Phosgene → 2,4-Dimethylthiazole-5-carbonyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a 300-ml three-neck flask, 7.9 g (0.5) mole) of 2,4-dimethylthiazole-5carboxylic acid were suspended in 200 ml of xylene and under heating and reflux, phosgene was blown at a flow rate of 340 ml/hr for 12 hours (0.18 mole). After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated to obtain 8.2 g of 2,4-dimethylthiazole-5-carboxylic acid chloride. Its purity and yield were 95.0% and 98.0%, respectively.
