Nitrothiazole urea

The reaction of 2-amino-5-nitrothiazole with (3-chloroethyl isocyanate gives the corresponding thiazolyl urea (137) (Scheme 90) (298). Other examples are given in Section V.l.B, where the preparation of thiazolyl-thioureas is discussed,... 

Niridazole Niridazole, l-(5-nitro-2-thiazolyl)-2-imidazolidinone (38.1.11), is made by reacting 2-amino-5-nitrothiazol with 2-chloroethylisocyanate to make the disubstituted urea (38.1.10). Heating this compound results in an intramolecular N-alkylation reaction to form the desired imidazolidine derivative, niridazole [7-11]. 

The 1 1 cocrystal of 2-amino-5-nitrothiazole with 4-aminobenzoic acid comprises two constituent molecules associated by a hydrogen-bonded graph set dimer through the carboxylic group across the N/N site of the thiazole [0-H...N, 2.614(3)A N-H...O, 2.991(3)A] [144], 2-Bromo-5-nitrothiazole [145], tetrakis (mefa-acetato)bis[2-(2-thionyl)-amino-5-nitrothiazole]-dirhodium-II-dihydrate [146], and /V-(4-melhoxyben/yl (-/WS-nilro-1,3-thia/ol-2-yl) urea [147] have been studied by X-ray analysis. 

The base fragmentation peaks of 4-methyl-5-nitrothiazol-2-yl derivatives of urea and thiourea [1165] and 4-substituted 2-halogen-5-nitrothiazoles [546] are discussed. 

The starting material for niridazoie is 2-amino-5-nitrothiazole, which is treated with 2-chloroethylisocyanate to form the urea 35, which is cyclised in the presence of a base to yield niridazoie [24,44].
