Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-fluorobenzoylacetonitrile (50 g, 306 mmol, 1 eq.) in EtOH (600 mL) was added pyridine (24.7 mL, 306 mmol, 1 eq.). The resulting mixture was stirred at 70° C. for 15 min then cooled to r.t. A previously stirred suspension of thiourea (46.7 g, 613 mmol, 2 eq.) and iodine (77.8 g, 306 mmol, 1 eq.) in EtOH (300 mL) was then slowly added. After 1 h at r.t. a cold 1 M Na2S2O3 solution (360 mL) was added under stirring. The resulting precipitate was filtered, washed with water, and finally dried under vacuo to afford 2-Amino-4-(4-fluoro-phenyl)-thiazole-5-carbonitrile.
