Phosgene → 4-Methyl-1,3-thiazole-5-carbonyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a similar apparatus to Example 1, 7.2 g (0.05 mole) of 4-methylthiazole-5-carboxylic acid were suspended in 100 ml of toluene, followed by the addition of 0.02 g of hexamethylphosphoramide Under heating and reflux, phosgene was blown at a rate of 1.2 l/hr for 2.5 hours (0.13 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 8.0 g of 4-methylthiazole-5-carboxylic acid chloride. Its purity and yield were 99.2% an d99.0%, respectively. NMR (δCDCl 3/TMS, ppm): 2.88(3H,s).
