Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Sodium methoxide was freshly prepared by dissolving 0.408 g (17.7 mmol) of sodium metal in 25 mL of abs. MeOH. After cooling to 0° C., 5-bromo-4-methyl-thiazol-2-ylamine (1.00 g, 5.18 mmol) was added and the cooling bath removed. After 15 Min., TLC indicated the absence of starting material. The reaction mixture was poured onto crashed ice/NH4Cl, twofold extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with water, dried over sodium sulfate, and evaporated to dryness. Flash chromatography (SiO2, hexane/ethyl acetate=1/1), yielded 0.441 g of the title compound as brown oil; it should be stored at −28° C.
