Abstract
Nitration of 4-methyl-2-[2-(nitro-2-furyl)vinyl]thiazole with a mixture of concentrated nitric and sulfuric acids leads to 4-methyl-5-nitro-2-[2-(3,5-dinitro-2-furyl)vinyl]thiazole. Under the same conditions 2-methyl- and 2-acetamido-4-[1-R-2-(5-nitro-2-furyl)vinyl]thiazoles (R=CH3, Cl) are nitrated in the 3 position of the furan ring, 2-amino-4-[1-chloro-2-(5-nitro-2-furyl)vinyl]thiazole is nitrated in the 5 position of the thiazole ring and 2-acetamido-5-nitro-4-[2-(2-furyl)vinyl]thiazole undergoes profound changes. Under the influence of a mixture of of nitric acid and acetic anhydride the latter compound is converted quantitatively to the 5-nitro derivative (with respect to the furan ring), whereas 4-[2-(5-nitro-2-furyl)vinyl]thiazole derivatives do not undergo reaction.
