Triethylamine → 2-Ethoxycarbonylamino-4-(1-(2-fluoro-4-biphenylyl)ethyl)thiazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

To 2-amino-4-(1-(2-fluoro-4-biphenylyl)ethyl)thiazole (5.00 g, 1.68 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (150 ml) was added ethyl chloroformate (1.82 g, 16.8 mmol) and triethylamine (1.70 g, 16.8 mmol) and the mixture was stirred under reflux for 2 hr. After cooling, the reaction mixture was diluted with water, then extracted with ethyl acetate. The extracts were washed with 1N-HCl and water, dried, then evaporated under reduced pressure to a residue, which was chromatographed to afford 2-ethoxycarbonylamino-4-(1-(2-fluoro-4-biphenylyl)ethyl) thiazole (3.954 g, 64% yield): NMR(CDCl3)δ 1.31(t, 3H), 1.60(t, 3H), 4.25(m, 3H), 6.58(s, 1H), 6.95-7.58(m, 8H) ppm; IR(nujol) 3280, 1720, 1290, 1230, 1080 cm-1.
