Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To 4-(4-benzyloxyphenyl)thiazole (1.1 g) was added 47% aqueous hydrogen bromide (10ml), and the mixture was stirred at 100° C. for 30 minutes. Ice-water was added to the reaction mixture and extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with saturated saline, dried by anhydrous sodium sulfate and then concentrated. Crystals were collected by filtration by using hexane to give 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl) thiazole (466 mg, 63.8%). The crystals were purified by recrystallization from methylene chloride-hexane. m.p. 161.5°-162° C.
