Reaktionsschritte

A solution of thiazolo[4,5-b]pyridine-2-thiol (2.0 g, 12 mol) in N,N-dimethylformamide is added dropwise to a mixture of sodium hydride (0.96 g, 0.024 mol) in N,N-dimethylformamide over 30 minutes. The resultant reaction mixture is treated with a solution of dibromodifluoromethane (2.52 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide, stirred at room temperature for 24 hours, and poured into an ice-water mixture. The resultant aqueous mixture is extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic extract is washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo to obtain a residue. Chromatography of the residue using silica gel and dichloromethane followed by azeotropic removal of N,N-dimethylformamide (toluene) affords an oil. The oil is further purified by column chromatography using silica gel and a 20:1 ethyl acetate/hexanes solution to give the title product as a light yellow liquid (0.61 g, 17% yield).
