Dimethylformamide → 2-(Chloromethyl)-1,3-thiazole-4-carbonyl chloride

Participants

Reaction Steps

Oxalyl chloride (3.2 mL, 36.6 mmol, 5 eq.) was added dropwise to a suspension of 4-[4-(chloromethyl)-1,3-thiazol-2-yl]benzoic acid (1.30 g, 7.32 mmol, 1 eq.) in DCM (10 mL) followed by a catalytic amount of DMF at RT. The reaction mixture was allowed to stir at RT overnight and then evaporated to give the title compound as the crude product.
