Procedure
4-Trifluoromethyl-thiazole-2-carboxylic acid ethyl ester (131 mg) was dissolved in THF (5 ml). The reaction mixture was then cooled to −78° C. DIBAL-H (4.7 ml, 1.0 M in tetrahydrofurane) was added slowly during a period of 10 min. The cooling bath was removed, and the solution was kept under stirring for 30 min at RT. The solution was then cooled to 0° C., and NaF (784 mg) was added, followed by the slow addition of 3 ml water. The product was extracted by ethyl acetate. The solvent was removed, and the crude product was used in alkylation reactions without further purification.
