| Title of Invention | PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF THIAZOLE INTERMEDIATE |
|---|---|
| Abstract | The present invention provides a process for the preparation of 4-methyl-5- formyl-thiazole of the formula (I) which comprises reducing the thiazole ester of the formula (III) to thiazole alcohol of the formula (IV), using a sodium borohydride, in the presence of AlCI3, in a solvent, and oxidising the thiazole alcohol of the formula (IV) to 4-methyl-5- formyl-thiazole of the formula (I) using an oxidizing agent. |
| Full Text | Claims 1. A process for the preparation of 4-methyl-5-formyl-thiazole of the formula (I) which comprises oxidising the 4-methyl-5-hydroxymethyl thiazole of the formula (IV)to 4-methyl-5-formyl-thiazole of the formula (I), by using an oxidizing agent in the presence of a solvent. 2. A process for the preparation of 4-methyl-5-hydroxymethyl thiazole of the formula (IV), which comprises reducing the thiazole ester of the formula (III) where R represents (C1-C4)alkyl group such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, iso-propyl, tert-butyl to 4-methyl-5-hydroxymethyl thiazole of the formula (IV), using sodium borohydride, in the presence of AICI3, in a solvent. 3. The process according to claim 1 wherein the oxidizing agent used in step (ii) is selected from pyridinum chlorochromate, NaOCl and KBr in presence of TEMPO or Jones reagent (CrO3). 4. The process according to claim 1 wherein the solvent used is selected from dichloromethane or ethylacetate. 5. The process according to claim 2 wherein the solvent used is selected from monoglyme, THF or diglyme. |
