Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: Methyl 4-(2-bromoacetyl)-5-methylthiothiophene-2-carboxylate (60 mg, 0.19 mmol) was allowed to react with 2,3-dichlorophenylthiourea (42 mg) as described in Example 154, step (a) to give 60.5 mg (62% yield) methyl 4-{2-[(2,3-dichlorophenyl)amino](1,3-thiazol-4-yl)}-5-methylthiothiophene-2-carboxylate hydrobromide. 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 300 MHz) δ2.66 (s, 3H), 3.82 (s, 3H), 7.27 (dd, 1H, J=1.5, 6.5 Hz), 7.36 (d, 1H, J=8.2 Hz), 7.43 (s, 1H), 8.14 (s, 1H), 8.62 (dd, 1H, J=1.5, 8.4 Hz), 9.95 (bs, 1H); Mass Spectrum (ESI) m/z calcd. for C16H12Cl2N2O2S3, 431.38 (M+H), found 431.1, 433.0.
