Reaction Steps

0.6 g (3.26 mmol) 4-Chloromethyl-2-methyl-thiazole hydrochloride was added to a stirred solution of 0.76 g (2.71 mmol) tert-butyl (1S)-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-[(2S)-oxiranyl]ethylcarbamate in 15 ml N,N-dimethylformamide. 3.25 g (10 mmol) cesium carbonate and 550 mg (3.66 mmol) sodium iodide was added, and the mixture was stirred at 20° C. for 24 hours. 200 ml ethyl acetate was added, and the mixture was filtered. The filtrate was extracted with water (5×50 ml), and the organic phase was dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified on silicagel column using hexane-ethyl acetate (1:1) as solvent to yield 820 mg (Y=78%) title compound.
