Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 2-bromo-imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole (1.0 g, 4.90 mmol) and p-anisidine (19.6 mmol, 2.41 g) in trifluoroethanol (12 mL) was heated under microwave irradiation at 170° C. for 1 hour. On cooling, the mixture was diluted with dichloromethane (10 mL) and purified by column chromatography (Biotage™/Flash, silica, methanol: dichloromethane 0.2:9.8 to 1:9). The residue obtained was triturated with diethylether and few drops of methanol to give imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazol-2-yl-(4-methoxyphenyl)amine as a white solid (355 mg, 29% yield).
