The reaction mixture was then quenched with water and the organic product extracted with EtOAc. The combined extracts were washed with H2O and brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (silica gel 60-120 mesh, eluent 15% EtOAc in petroleum ether) to afford 2-(2-(4-chlorophenyl)thiazol-4-yl)acetonitrile (0.43 g, yield 82%) as an off-white solid. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.89-7.86 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 2H), 7.45-7.42 (d, J=8.6 Hz, 2H), 7.32 (m, 1H), 3.96 (s, 2H).
