4-(Chloromethyl)thiazole hydrochloride and its derivatives can be used to prepare 4-thiazole carboxylic acid. It has been shown that in the study of synthesis of conformationally restricted RGD-containing integrin ligands by efficient solid-phase intramolecular thioalkylation, the reaction of S-nucleophiles with the newly generated N-terminal 4-chloromethyl thiazoles afforded the desired cyclic RGD product 5 with high purity and good overall yield^[1].
