Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-amino-5-methylthiazole (0.77 g, 6.7 mmol) and 2-iodomethyl-1,4-dioxane (Synchem-OHG, 1.5 g, 6.7 mmol) was warmed to 85° C. and was allowed to stir for 18 hours. The mixture was cooled to ambient temperature and the crude material was purified via column chromatography (SiO2, 10% methanol in ethyl acetate then 9:1:0.1 CH2Cl2:methanol:NH4OH) to afford the title compound. MS (DCI/NH3) m/z 215 (M+H)+.
