Description

Ethyl 4-amino-2-(methylthio)-1,3-thiazole-5-carboxylate (ETC) is a disulfide that is synthesized by the condensation of potassium ethanethiolate and iodomethane. The product yield can be increased through the use of iodomethane in excess and a prolonged reaction time. This compound can be purified by filtration, followed by washing with ethanol, ether, and acetone. ETC can also be used as an intermediate for the production of other compounds such as cyanamide, triethylamine, or hydroxide solution.
ETC is a precursor to ethyl chloroacetate which is used in the preparation of glyoxylic acid, an important intermediate for the production of polyester fibers.
