2-Amino-4-thiazolecarboxylic acid esters

Thiazolecarboxylic acids, esters or acid chlorides react readily with ammonia or various amines, affording the corresponding carboxamides. Dehydration of the amides with phosphorus pentoxide or phosphoryl chloride occurs readily and gives the corresponding nitriles (Scheme 99). Thiazolecarboxylic acid hydrazides are obtained in a similar way, using hydrazine or substituted hydrazines instead of ammonia or amines. The Raney nickel reduction of cyanothiazoles leads to the corresponding amino compounds, the 4-cyano derivative being the isomer most readily reduced.
