The mixture was treated with 1M HCl aq. (ca. 8 mL, 2 eq.), DCM was added, and the organics separated and evaporated to dryness to give 1.23 g (95%) of 2-bromo-4-(5-chloro-2-methoxyphenyl)thiazole-5-carboxylic acid as a yellow solid. LCMS (ESI) m+H=350.1. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 7.47 (dd, 1H); 7.39 (d, 1H); 7.13 (d, 1H); 3.73 (s, 3H).
