Phosgene → 2-Methyl-1,3-thiazole-5-carbonyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a similar apparatus to Example 1, 10.0 g (0.07 mole) of 2-methylthiazole-5-carboxylic acid were suspended in 100 ml of xylene, followed by the addition of 0.03 g of triethylenediamine. Under heating and reflux, phosgene was blown at a rate of 930 ml/hr for 6 hours (0.25 mole). After completion of the blowing, stirring was continued for additional 2 hours. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate was concentrated to obtain 10.5 g of 2-methylthiazole-5-carboxylic acid chloride. Its purity and yield were 96.0% and 92.8%, respectively.
