preparation | (1) synthesis of ethyl 2-aminothiazol-4-formate (intermediate 1) take ethyl 3-bromopyruvate (6.0g,31mmol) and thiourea (2.3g,31mmol,1.0eq), the reaction was refluxed at 120 ℃ for 0.5h under nitrogen protection, and the reaction was completely monitored by thin layer chromatography. The reaction solution is dissolved in ethyl acetate, and the organic layer is washed with distilled water and saturated salt water in turn; the organic layer is dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and the solvent is evaporated under reduced pressure to obtain yellow 2-aminothiazol-4-ethyl formate (4.4g,83.0%). (2) Synthesis of 2-bromothiazol-4-ethyl formate (Intermediate 2) In a round bottom flask, dimethyl sulfoxide was heated to 60°C, NaNO2(7.1g,102.3mmol) was added with 2-aminothiazol-4-ethyl formate (4.4g,25.6mmol) obtained from the previous step, and stirred until completely dissolved. Place the round bottom flask in an ice bath, slowly add dimethyl sulfoxide solution containing 40% HBr(20.7g,102.3mmol) dropwise, and react in the ice bath for 0.5h. TLC monitoring. After the reaction is over, ethyl acetate is added, and the organic layer is washed with distilled water and saturated salt water in turn. Drying, suction and filtration, the filtrate is distilled to remove the solvent under reduced pressure to obtain crude 2-bromothiazole-4-ethyl formate. Column chromatography (ethyl acetate: petroleum ether = 1:1) separation, petroleum ether recrystallization to obtain 1.9g with 32.0% yield. |
