FIELD: organic chemistry, chemical technology.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a method for synthesis of 2-amino-5-methylthiazole used as an intermediate compound in synthesis of drugs. Method for synthesis of 2-amino-5-methylthiazole involves the following steps: chlorination reaction of propionic aldehyde with sulfuryl chloride, successive addition of lower alcohol and alkali aqueous solution to alkaline pH value of medium, separation of organic phase containing 2-chloropropionic aldehyde acetal, condensation of acetal with thiourea. Organic phase is added directly to thiourea in acid aqueous solution. Method provides increasing yield of the end product and to simplify the process.
EFFECT: improved method of synthesis.
