Dimethylformamide → 1-[5-(3-Chloro-5-nitrophenyl)-1,3-thiazol-2-yl]cyclobutanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

The product of Step 1 (1.6 g, 3.98 mmol), Intermediate 1 (839 mg, 3.58 mmol), PdCl2 (dppf)-dichloromethane adduct (163 mg, 0.199 mmol), sodium carbonate (2M in water) (5.97 mL, 11.95 mmol), and DMF (39.8 mL) were heated at 100° C. for 2 hours under nitrogen. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and water, the solids were filtered and the organic fraction was washed with water, brine and dried over Na2SO4. Filtration and solvent evaporation gave a residue which was further purified by column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with ethyl acetate/hexane with a gradient 30-50% to afford 1-[5-(3-chloro-5-nitrophenyl)-1,3-thiazol-2-yl]cyclobutanol (610 mg, 49.3%).
