Reaktionsschritte

In a microwave vial a mixture of 2-bromo-5-nitroanisole (800 mg, 3.38 mmol), potassium acetate (503 mg, 5.07 mmol) and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)-palladium(0) (197 mg, 0.17 mmol) in N,N-dimethylacetamide (12 mL) were flushed with argon while 2-methylthiazole (1.71 g, 16.9 mmol) was added. The tube was sealed and the mixture irradiated two times for 30 minutes at 160° C. The red-brown mixture was partitioned between ethyl acetate and water. The water layer was re-extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases were washed three times with water, once with brine, dried with magnesium sulfate and evaporated to dryness. Column chromatography (70 g silica, heptane/ethyl acetate 7:3 v/v) afforded the title compound (360 mg, 42%) as a yellow solid. MS ISP (m/e): 251.1 [(M+H)+]. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 300 MHz): δ (ppm)=8.15 (s, 1H), 7.90 (dd, 1H), 7.84 (s, 1H), 7.72 (d, 1H), 4.05 (s, 3H), 2.76 (s, 3H). Mp 114-117° C.
