Acetylated amino thiazoles,

Aromatic thioamides react with MeC(0)CHClC(0)C02Et to give a 3 1 ratio of ethyl 5-acetyl-2-aryl-thiazole-4-carboxylates and the isomeric products (2). Modifications of the Hantzsch synthesis continue to appear. Thus, 2-aryl-5-aroyl-thiazoles may be prepared from the JV -thioaroyl-iViV-dimethyl-formamidines ArC(S)N=CHNMea and a-bromo-ketones [strictly speaking, this is a Type F (C—N—C—S + C) synthesis], whilst 5-amino-2-phenyl-l,2,3-thiadiazolium salts [e.g. (3)] and compounds with the general structure RCHgCN (e.g. R = CN or COaEt) yield 4-amino-thiazoles. ...

The general pattern of alkylation of 2-acylaininothiazoles parallels that of 2-aminothia2ole itself (see Section III.l). In neutral medium attack occurs on the ring nitrogen, and in alkaline medium a mixture of N-ring and N-amino alkylation takes place (40, 43, 161. 163). In acidic medium unusual behavior has been reported (477) 2-acetamido-4-substituted thiazoles react with acetic anhydride in the presence of sulfuric acid to yield 2-acetylimino-3-acetyl-4-phenyl-4-thiazolines (255) when R = Ph. but when R4 = Me or H no acetylation occurs (Scheme 151). The explanation rests perhaps in an acid-catalyzed heterocyclization with an acetylation on the open-chain compound (253), this compound being stabilized... 

The A-acetyl derivatives of the 2-alkylthio-l,3-thiadiazol-4-imines (124, R = SR, R = Ac) undergo nucleophilic displacement reaction with amines (benzylamine, cyclohexylamine, morpholine, or aniline) giving the 2-amino derivatives (124, R = NRj, R = Ac). The salt (126, R = R = Ph, R = R = H, X = Cl) reacts with aniline at room temperature giving 4-anilino-2-phenyl-l,3-thiazole (128), presumably by a mechanism involving cleavage of the heterocyclic ring. ... 

Thiamine pyrophosphate has two important coenzyme roles, both of which focus mostly on carbohydrate metabolism (Figs. 8.26 and 8.27). The active portion of the coen- rae is the thiazole ring. The first step in the oxidative decarboxylation of a-keto acids requires TPP. The two most common examples are pyruvate and a-ketoglutarate, oxidatively decarboxyatedto acetyl CoA and succinyl CoA, respectively. The same reaction is found in the metabolism of the branched-chain amino acids valine, isoleucine, leucine, and methionine. In all cases, TPP is a coenzyme in a mitochondrial multienzyme complex, consisting of TPP, lipoic acid, coenzyme A, FAD, and NAD. Note the number of vitamins required for the oxidative decarboxylation of a-keto acids thiamine (TPP), pantothenic acid (coenzyme A), riboflavin (FAD),and niacin (NAD).

Synthesis. - Type A Syntheses (S-C H -N + C). The C-nucleoside (182) is formed by condensation of 2-amino-4-chlorobenzenethiol with an acetylated aldonic nitrile or glycosyl cyanide followed by deacetylation23. 2-Aminobenzenethiol reacts with RC0CsCPh(Rs2-thienyl) to give (183). The latter cyclises to 2-phenylbenzo-thiazole on attempted recrystallisation (MeOH). With terminal acetylenic ketones a mixture of benzothlazolines results232.
