Hydrochloric Acid → 5-(2-Tert-butylpyridin-4-yl)-4-methylthiazol-2-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of N-[5-(2-tert-butyl-pyridin-4-yl)-4-methyl-thiazol-2-yl]-acetamide (Step 1.3) (2 g, 7 mmol), a 6N aqueous solution of HCl (10 mL) and EtOH (50 mL) is stirred for 2 h at 85° C., allowed to cool, quenched by addition of a saturated solution of NaHCO3 and extracted with DCM/MeOH (9:1, v/v). The organic phase is washed with a saturated solution of NaHCO3, dried (Na2SO4), filtered and concentrated. The residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography (DCM/MeOH, 1:0→96:4) to afford 1.21 g of the title compound as a yellow solid: ESI-MS: 248.1 [M+H]+; TLC: Rf=0.36 (DCM/MeOH, 9:1).
