To a mixture of 4-fluorobenzoylchloride (0.16 g, 1 mmol) and a catalytic amount of DMAP in pyridine (5 mL) was added dropwise a solution of 5-amino-2-(quinolin-4-ylamino)thiazole-4-carboxamide (0.25 g, 0.87 mmol) in pyridine (5 mL), and the mixture was stirred for 16 hrs at rt. The reaction mixture was quenched with ice-water. The resulting solids were collected by filteration and washed successively with water, ether, and MeOH to give 0.12 g (33% yield) of the titled compound. LCMS m/z [M+H]+408.2 .
