Comparable conductive heating procedures carried out at 150 °C in a sealed tube for 12 min, or at reflux for 30 min, gave thiazole 2·HCl (90% or 85%, respectively, by HPLC).

52. The glass tube was filled with standard quartz sand, 40-100 mesh, suitable for use in chromatography. When aminodienonè 5 was irradiated in toluene (without acetic acid) in the presence and absence of sand in a sealed tube, no appreciable difference was observed (13% versus 5% conversion, respectively), indicating that the sand has a negligible (if any) effect on the cyclodehydration.
