Participants

Reaction Steps

In a similar apparatus to Example 1, 4.2 g (0.02 mole) of 2-trifluoromethyl-4-methylthiazole-5-carboxylic acid were suspended in 100 ml of chlorobenzene, followed by the addition of 0.04 g of pyridine. Under heating and reflux, 9.9 g (0.05 mole) of trichloromethyl chloroformate were added dropwise over 5 hours. After completion of the dropwise addition, stirring was continued for additional 2 hours. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated to obtain 4.5 g of 2-trifluoromethyl-4-methylthiazole-5-carboxylic acid chloride. Its purity and yield were 98.7% and 98.0%, respectively.
