One of the virtues of the Fischer indole synthesis is that it can frequently be used to prepare indoles having functionalized substituents. This versatility extends beyond the range of very stable substituents such as alkoxy and halogens and includes esters, amides and hydroxy substituents. Table 7.3 gives some examples. These include cases of introduction of 3-acetic acid, 3-acetamide, 3-(2-aminoethyl)- and 3-(2-hydroxyethyl)- side-chains, all of which are of special importance in the preparation of biologically active indole derivatives. Entry 11 is an efficient synthesis of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug indomethacin. A noteworthy feature of the reaction is the... 

Lithiated indoles can be alkylated with primary or allylic halides and they react with aldehydes and ketones by addition to give hydroxyalkyl derivatives. Table 10.1 gives some examples of such reactions. Entry 13 is an example of a reaction with ethylene oxide which introduces a 2-(2-hydroxyethyl) substituent. Entries 14 and 15 illustrate cases of addition to aromatic ketones in which dehydration occurs during the course of the reaction. It is likely that this process occurs through intramolecular transfer of the phenylsulfonyl group. 

Direct sulfonation of thiazole, as well as of 2-substituted thiazoles, leads mostly to substitution m the 5-position (330-332). 4-Thiazole sulfonic acid has been prepared through direct sulfonation of 2.5-dibromothiazole with subsequent Rane% Ni reduction (330). Sulfonation of 2.5-dimethyl- and 2-piperidyl-5-methylthiazoles affords the corresponding 4-sulfonic acids as barium salts (247). The 2-hydroxy group facilitates the sulfonation (201. 236). When the 4- and 5-positions are occupied direct sulfonation can occur in the 2-position. 5-hydroxyethyl-4-methyl-2-thiazole sulfonic acid has been prepared in this manner (7). 

In a similar way, dl-2-(q-hydroxyalkyl)- and 2-(a-alkoxycarbonyl)-4-methyl-5-(/3-hydroxyethyl)thiazoles were synthetized from the corresponding thioamides and 4-hydroxy-3-bromo-2-pentanone (615). 

Acetyl-3-mercaptopropanol reacts with acetaldehyde in the presence of hydrazine hydrate to yield 2,4-dimethyl-5-(/3-hydroxyethyl)thiazole (10), R, = Rj = Me, R3 = CH2CH2OH (556). 

A reaction carried out by Haruki et al. is the energic oxidation of 5-(l-hydroxyethyl)2-phenylthiazole (5) in dioxane by aqueous Kl-iodine to give 2-phenyl-5-thiazolecarboxylic acid (6) (Scheme 2) (28). 

It is possible to reduce thiazole carbonyl derivatives with aluminium isopropoxide (56, 57). For example, 4-methyl-5-acetylthiazole gives 4-methyl-5-(a-hydroxyethyl)thiazole. With aluminium amalgam one obtains a duplication like to the pinacol reaction, and the yield is genaally poor...

The use of hydroxyethyl (also hydroxypropyl) methacrylate as a monomer permits the introduction of reactive hydroxyl groups into the copolymers. This offers the possibility for subsequent cross-linking with an HO-reactive difunctional agent (diisocyanate, diepoxide, or melamine-formaldehyde resin). Hydroxyl groups promote adhesion to polar substrates.

The ethylene glycol liberated by reaction (5.L) is removed by lowering the pressure or purging with an inert gas. Because the ethylene glycol produced by reaction (5.L) is removed, proper stoichiometry is assured by proceeding via the intermediate, bis(2-hydroxyethyl) terephthalate otherwise the excess glycol used initially would have a deleterious effect on the degree of polymerization. Poly(ethylene terephthalate) is more familiar by some of its trade names Mylar as a film and Dacron, Kodel, or Terylene as fibers it is also known by the acronym PET.
