Thiazole → 2,2-Difluoro-1-(1,3-thiazol-2-YL)ethan-1-one

This procedure is based on literature, see: Krasovskiy, A.; Krasovskaya, V.; Knochel, P. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2006, 45, 2958. Thiazole (5.7 mL, 80 mmol) in THF (100 mL) was added to a stirred, cooled (0° C.) solution of isopropylmagnesium chloride-lithium chloride (1.18 M in THF, 74.9 mL, 88 mmol) in THF (75 mL) then the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. Then the solution was cooled to −20° C. and ethyl difluoroacetate (9.29 ml, 88 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred for 10 minutes at −20° C., then 10 minutes at room temperature. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (200 mL), washed with aqueous ammonium chloride (saturated, 200 mL), dried (MgSO4), filtered and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (chromatography on silica gel, 0-90% ethyl acetate in hexanes) to give 2,2-difluoro-1-(1,3-thiazol-2-yl)ethanone (12 g, 73.6 mmol, 92% yield) as a yellow oil. MS ESI: [M+H]+ m/z 164.0.
