Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Sodium hydride (702 mg, 17.56 mmol) was suspended in THF (7 mL)/DMF (7 mL) under nitrogen and cooled to 0° C. The product from Step 1 (875 mg, 4.39 mmol) in THF (3 mL)/DMF (3 mL) was added dropwise. The ice bath was removed, and the yellow-orange suspension was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. The mixture was then cooled back down to 0° C., and 1,2-dibromoethane (2.475 g, 13.17 mmol) was added in one portion. The reaction was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 2 h. It was then quenched with saturated NH4Cl and water and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried (Na2SO4), and evaporated. Flash chromatography (0-20% ethyl acetate in hexanes) afforded tert-butyl 1-(1,3-thiazol-2-yl)cyclopropanecarboxylate (866 mg, 88%) as a colorless oil. MS ESI: [M+H]+ m/z 226.1.
