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

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a similar apparatus to Example 1, 15.7 g (0.1 mole) of 2,4-dimethylthiazole-5-carboxylic acid were suspended in 100 ml of toluene, followed by the addition of 0.1 g of N,N-dimethylformamide. Under heating and reflux, phosgene was blown at a rate of 1.3 l/hr for 5 hours (0.29 mole). After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated to obtain 17.2 g of 2,4-dimethylthiazole-5-carboxylic acid chloride. Its purity and yield were 97.5% and 98.0%, respectively.
