Acetic Acid → HCID 13173178, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 10 ml of ethanol was dissolved 0.4 g of 6-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-5-formyl-2,3-dihydroimidazo[2,1-b]thiazole and after adding 40 mg of sodium borohydride to the solution, the mixture was stirred for 10 minutes. To the reaction mixture were added 0.3 ml of acetic acid and 30 ml of water, and the crystals thus precipitated were recovered by filtration and recrystallized from aqueous ethanol to provide 0.3 g of 6-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl)-5-hydroxymethyl-2,3-dihydroimidazo[2,1-b]thiazole.
