Abstract
Methylation of N-(2-thiazolyl)-nitramine in alkaline solution gives 1,2-dihydro-3-methyl-2-nitriminothiazole which rear-ranges in concentrated sulphuric acid yielding small amount of 2-(N-methylamino)-5-nitrothiazole, identical with the product of rearrangement of N-methyl-N-(2-thiazolyl)-nitramine. The latter compound was obtained by the action of sodium hydride on 2-(N-methylamino)-thiazole followed by the nitration with n-butyl nitrate.
