To a mixture of 7-(1-azidoethyl)-6-bromo-3-methyl-5H-[1,3]thiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-5-one (0.10 g, 0.32 mmol) and 4-fluorophenylboronic acid (53 mg, 0.38 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (2 mL) was added a 1 M solution of sodium carbonate in water (0.38 mL, 0.38 mmol) and tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(0) (18 mg, 0.016 mmol). The reaction mixture was heated at 100° C. overnight. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water, brine, dried over MgSO4, and concentrated. The crude mixture was purified on silica gel, eluting with 0 to 40% EtOAc in hexane, to give the desired product (69 mg, 66%). LCMS calculated for C15H13FN5OS (M+H)+: m/z=330.1. Found: 330.0.
