Reaction Conditions:

with ammonium iodide;lithium perchlorate;Alanine in water;dimethyl sulfoxide at 30;Electrolysis;

Steps:

General procedure for the one-pot electrochemically synthesis of 2-aminothiazoles from active methylene ketones and thioureas

General procedure: A 50 mL undivided cell was equipped with a graphite plate cathode and a graphiteplate anode (each about 2 × 2 cm2) which were connected to a DC regulated powersupply. To the cell was added active methylene ketone 1 (2 mmol), thiourea 2 (1 mmol),NH4I (0.1 mmol), DL-alanine (1 mmol) and LiClO4 (0.5 mmol) dissolved in a mixedsolvent of DMSO (1 mL) and H2O (14 mL). The mixture was electrolyzed underconstant current conditions at 5 mA/cm2 at 30 °C while stirring. The electrolysis wasterminated when 6 F/mol of charge had been consumed. After the electrolysis, thereaction mixture was washed with a saturated aqueous Na2S2O3 and the product wasthen extracted with DCM (3 × 10 mL), dried over MgSO4, and concentrated in vacuum.The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel using a mixture ofpetroleum ether/EtOAc as eluent.
