Abstract: 1-Alkylamino-3-(5-alkynylaminocarbonylthiazol-2-yloxy)-2-propanol; 5-(5-alkynylaminocarbonyl-thiazol-2-yloxymethylene)-N-alkyloxazolidine and/or 2-substituted oxazolidine derivatives thereof, and methods of making such compounds. The compounds exhibit cardiovascular activity and are useful in the treatment of abnormal heart conditions in mammals. The compounds are also useful in the treatment of hypertension in mammals. The 5-(5-alkynyl-aminocarbonylthiazol-2-yloxymethylene)-N-alkyloxazolidines and derivatives are also intermediates for the 1-alkylamino-3-(5-alkynylaminocarbonylthiazol-2-yloxy)-2-propanols. The 1-alkylamino-3-(5-alkynylaminocarbonylthiazol-2-yloxy)-2-propanols can be prepared by base or acid hydrolysis of the corresponding 5-(5-alkynylaminocarbonylthiazol-2-yloxymethylene)-N-alkyloxazolidine or derivative; or by treatment of the corresponding 3-(5-alkynylaminocarbonylthiazol-2-yloxy)-2,3-epoxypropane with the desired alkylamine.

Abstract: Processes and intermediates for preparing 1-alkylamino-3-(5-substitutedaminocarbonylthiazol-2-yloxy)-2-propanols and 5-(5-substitutedaminocarbonylthiazol-2-yloxymethylene)-N-alkyloxazolidine and 2-substituted oxazolidine derivatives thereof and intermediates therefore. The present processes, and intermediates, reduce the number of transformations necessary to produce these products as compared with the prior processes. The products are useful to treat abnormal heart conditions and/or hypertension in mammals. The intermediates are 2-alkylsulfinyl-5-substitutedaminocarbonylthiazoles and 2-alkylsulfonyl-5-substitutedaminocarbonylthiazoles.
